I leave you a thirst for education. Knowledge is the prime need of the hour. I leave you a respect for the uses of power, We live in a world which respects power above all things. Power, intelligently directed, can lead to more freedom. Unwisely directed, it can be a dreadful, destructive force I leave you faith.
Faith is the first factor in a life devoted to service.
Without faith, nothing is possible. I leave you racial dignity, I want Negroes to maintain their human dignity at all costs. I leave you a desire to live harmoniously with your fellow men. Out children must never lose their zeal for building a better world. The Freedom Gates are half ajar.
