Iam mindful that only yesterday in birmingham, alabama,
our children, crying out for brotherhood, were answered
with fire hoses, snarling dogs and even death. i am mindful
that only yesterday in philadelphia, mississippi, young
people seeking to secure the right to vote were brutalized
and murdered. and only yesterday more than 40 houses of
worship in the state of mississippi alone were bombed or
burned because they offered a sanctuary to those who
would not accept segregation. i am mindful that
debilitating and grinding poverty afflicts my people and
chains them to the lowest rung of the economic ladder.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
