I have accepted the challenge of being a Negro in America and of being an American first.
I have come to fulfill that promise but in my eyes the great nation is the American nation neither Black nor white but all colors living freely to be able to express themselves as children of God.
My entire life's quest has been for spiritual integration and this quest led me ultimately to Christ in whom there is no East or West, no North, no South, no Black, no white, no red, or yellow, no Jew nor Gentile, no Islam or Buddha, no Baptist, Methodist, Episcopalian, Roman Catholic, or Eastern Orthodox.
