"History is a great teacher. Now everyone knows that the labor movement did not diminish the strength of the nation but enlarged it. By raising the living standards of millions, labor miraculously created a market for industry and lifted the whole nation to undreamed of levels of production. Those who attack labor forget these simple truths, but history remembers them." -- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (b. 1929-01-15, d. 1968-04-04), speech to AFL-CIO, 1961-12-11 (wording differs slightly in draft; I haven't yet found transcript of speech as delivered -- what I quoted is from Wikiquote)
