all respect

give what is earned give what is deserved

When a fellow civil rights worker was killed after the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, 

King said:

 “If physical death is the price that some must pay to free their children and their white brothers from an eternal psychological death, then nothing can be more redemptive.”
