522
00:32:37,956 --> 00:32:39,415
[Coretta] That's
not true or fair.
523
00:32:39,499 --> 00:32:42,085
[King Jr.] But I haven't
sacrificed as much as you.
524
00:32:43,002 --> 00:32:44,337
Everyone gives me credit.
525
00:32:44,420 --> 00:32:48,716
But this movement wouldn't
have got this far without you.
526
00:32:50,176 --> 00:32:51,970
Of all the decisions
I've ever had to make,
527
00:32:52,053 --> 00:32:54,055
the best one is marrying you.
528
00:32:58,351 --> 00:32:59,519
So when I get back,
529
00:32:59,602 --> 00:33:01,980
let's figure out a
weekend for Atlanta City.
530
00:33:02,772 --> 00:33:04,607
- [Coretta] Okay.
- [King Jr.] All right.

533

Every chapter of fighting for
the struggle has brought upon
534
00:33:41,269 --> 00:33:43,521
a challenging battle.
535
00:33:44,605 --> 00:33:49,777
But I'm not afraid of what
happened yesterday because,
536
00:33:49,861 --> 00:33:53,448
through it all, it's my
unshakeable faith in God that
537
00:33:53,531 --> 00:33:55,575
guides me through any hard days.
538
00:33:59,287 --> 00:34:02,874
And there will be harder
days and bloodshed amongst
539
00:34:02,957 --> 00:34:04,584
the most vulnerable.
540
00:34:05,543 --> 00:34:09,672
So while I cannot say that my
tomorrow is promised to me,
541
00:34:10,506 --> 00:34:14,260
I'm here to testify that no
matter what happens to me,
542
00:34:14,343 --> 00:34:15,636
we as a people,
543
00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:18,264
