Renaissance

Foremost African American Human Rights Activist, Revd Martin Luther King Jr on the essence of time.

Time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more, I feel that people of I'll will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will....Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through tireless efforts of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hardwork, time itself becomes an ally of forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that time is always ripe to do right.

    I feel that people of ill will (not, I'll) have used time much more effectively than have people of good will.

    The mistake is regretted. Thanks.
