Summary

This quote suggests that life is about making decisions and assumptions, even when we don't have all the information we need. It implies that we often have to rely on limited or incomplete data to reach conclusions and make choices in our day-to-day lives. Life, therefore, becomes a process of finding balance and making the best possible decisions based on the information and resources available to us. It highlights the importance of judgment and the ability to navigate uncertainty.

If I have a cup of coffee that is too strong for me because it is too black, I weaken it by pouring cream into it. I integrate it with cream. If I keep pouring enough cream in the coffee, pretty soon the entire flavor of the coffee is changed; the very nature of the coffee is changed. If enough cream is poured in, eventually you don't even know that I had coffee in this cup. This is what happened with the March on Washington. The whites didn't integrate it; they infiltrated it. Whites joined it; they engulfed it; they became so much a part of it, it lost its original flavor. It ceased to be a black march; it ceased to be militant; it ceased to be angry; it ceased to be impatient. In fact, it ceased to be a march.
