Quote by Martin Luther King Jr.
If the cruelties of slavery could not stop us, the opposition we now face will surely fail. Because the goal of America is freedom, abused and scorned tho' we may be, our destiny is tied up with America's destiny.
Summary

Despite being abused and marginalized, they align their aspirations and fate with those of America. It asserts that America's purpose is the pursuit of liberty, and even though this ideal may be disregarded or mistreated at times, the intertwined destiny of the emancipated people and the nation will eventually prevail.
