TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS) Quoting from his Book STRENGTH TO LOVE, Matted and Framed

Superb letter on Southern Christian Leadership Conference stationery dated 12 August 1963. "I want to personally thank you for the support which you have given to our nonviolent direct action movement to eliminate the immoral and shameful practice of racial discrimination and segregation from American life. I am particularly pleased that as part of your contribution to our work you have acquired a copy of my latest book STRENGTH TO LOVE. In the preface of this book I said: 'In these turbulent days of uncertainty, the evils of war and of economic and racial injustice threaten the very survival of the human race.' These words are even more relevant to this current phase of the civil rights revolution than it was when the preface was printed. It has always been a source of inner strength to me and those of my associates in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to be able to meet and overcome many of the indignities and humiliations of segregation in America with unswerving faith in the American dream of freedom for all men. I believe it can be said that the Strength To Love in the midst of adversities is one of the most significant features of the nonviolent direct action movement in our country today."
