"I am not sad that Black Americans are rebelling; this was not only inevitable but eminently desirable. Without this magnificent ferment among Negroes, the old evasions and procrastinations would have continued indefinitely... radical reconstruction of society itself is the real issue to be faced... Today's dissenters tell the complacent majority that the time has come when further evasion of social responsibility in a turbulent world will court disaster and death. America has not changed because so many don't think it need change." - Martin Luther King Jr., "A Testament of Hope," 1969

has the silent majority only grown and become more complacent since?
