That we must substitute courage for caution. These are the words of dr. King offered to the grieving congregation gathered together amid the blistering pain and the incomprehensible loss of four little girls. Slaughtered in their Birmingham Sunday School by the bomb of southern white supremicists. Today, the words are not for four but for nine.
