Martin Luther King's Advice to Today

Frosty Troy at the Oklahoma Observer (not online but read it if you ever get the chance) reminds us of a quote from Dr. King that, if followed, just might get us through the reality that faces us as a nation and assure the American Legacy the way history has assured his own:

Cowardice asks the question: Is it safe? Expediency asks the question: Is it politic? Vanity asks the question: Is it popular? But conscience asks the question: Is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular: But one must take it because it is right.
