He wanted unity of people, for black men and white men and black women and white women to unite, for children to play amongst each other and for none of them to judge each other by the color of skin. He believed that one day all he wished for would be a reality, that there would be no more sacrifices of Negro people, that they too would ride on buses with White people, that they too would eat in the same restaurants as White people, and there would be no more hate, no more police brutality to the Negro community and that they too would be treated equal.
