I read this in high school, about 20 years ago. I read it again today.
It's a long letter, but it's important.
Two quotes I copy-pasted that stick with me:
"We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."
and
"The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for hate or for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice?"
