[FDR]: So first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to

needed us to convert retreat into advance. Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a

date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly

and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. A

short time ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima and

destroyed its usefulness to the enemy. That bomb has more power than 20,000

tons of TNT. The Japanese began the war from the air at Pearl Harbor,

they have been repaid many-fold. And the end is not yet.

With this bomb, we have now added a new and revolutionary increase in

destruction to supplement the growing power of our armed forces. We have been

compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions.

In the council's of government, we must guard against the acquisition of

unwarranted influence—whether sought or unsought—by the military-industrial

The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or

I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or

any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion

which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it.

And the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so my fellow

Lasst sie nach Berlin kommen—let them come to Berlin. [Cheering]

All free men—wherever they may live—are citizens of Berlin

and therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words ich bin ein Berliner.

I have a dream, that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be

judged by the color about skin, but by the content in their character. I have

Catholics—will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro

The command of the Constitution is plain. There is no moral issue.

is to know that there is still madness in this world.

They are poor to be lifted up, and there are cities to be built, and there's a world

I'm hopeful—and I will try, best I can, with everything I've got—to end this

battle and to return our sons to their desires.

Yet as long as others will challenge America's security, and test the dearness of our

beliefs with fire and steel, then we must stand or see the promise of two centuries tremble.

All we say to America is be true to what you said on paper. But somewhere I read of the

freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of

that the greatness of America is the right to protest for rights.

And so, just as I say we aren't going to let any dogs or water hoses turn us around, we aren't

but it really doesn't matter with me now because I've been to the mountaintop.

Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place.

I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And

I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land.

I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight, that we as a people

So I'm happy tonight, I'm not worried about anything, I'm not fearing any man.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

I have some very sad news for all of you, and I think sad news for all of our

fellow citizens and people who love peace all over the world, and that is

that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis, Tennessee.

Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings,

he died in the cause of that effort. For those of you who are black and are

tempted to be filled with hatred and mistrust of the injustice of

I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart

the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed,

but he was killed by a white man. But we have to make an effort in the United

States. We have to make an effort to understand, to get beyond—or go beyond—

My favorite poem—my favorite poet was Aeschylus—he once wrote

'Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart

until in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful

grace of God.' What we need in the United States is not division,

what we need in the United States is not hatred,

what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness,

but is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another,

a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country,

whether they be white, or whether they be black.

Throughout the long and difficult period of Watergate, I have felt it was my

duty to persevere. To make every possible effort to complete the term of office
