6. SOUNDBITE (English) Bernice King, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Daughter:
"What kind of world is this, that this is okay? It's not okay. It is not okay. And we need to have the courage, the strength, tenacity and the moral will. It's not our military might, it's our moral will that's important in this hour as a nation. We're supposed to lead from a moral high plane. And that's what Daddy was calling for in Vietnam and that's what I'm saying here in this nation. We need the moral high ground, because we are losing it."
