October 16, 1960 — Meeting of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, Atlanta GA

I regret that there are so few southern white students, as yet, working side by side with you; I am sorry they have not yet realized that segregation is their enemy also; that it harms their minds and souls as much as it does yours; that it blocks their freedom and their future as severely as it does yours.
