Help! Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say
"Wait." But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and
drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate filled policemen curse,
kick and even kill your black brothers and sisters; when you see the vast majority of your
twenty million Negro brothers smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an
affluent society; when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering
as you seek to explain to your six year old daughter why she can't go to the public
amusement park that has just been advertised on television when you take a cross
county drive and find it necessary to sleep night after night in the uncomfortable corners of
your automobile because no motel will accept you; when you are humiliated day in and day
out by nagging signs reading "white" and "colored" then you will understand why we find
it difficult to wait
