Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race. . . .

Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore all exalt it. Martin Luther King Jr.
