I call upon the Congress now to complete its work of hope for millions of Americans who now look to it for action.
Our aim at this season is to sift the hope from the turbulence, so that hope may grow unfettered.
No man could serve where I have served now for more than 4 years and 5 long months--in this great office of all the people--without sensing that we are once again in 'a new time.'
Today the Nation's Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1968. This is a victory for every American.
