Mthunzi ndi mawu osavuta omwe akuphatikizira zonse zomwe timakana kuzidziwa bwinobwino, tikufuna kuti tizitha kuwongolera momveka bwino. Ndi zophweka, makamaka pakati pa mpikisano wandale wandale, kunena kuti ndi phwando langa lokha limene lidzabwezeretsa USA kuti zisatchulidwe. Ndikovuta kwambiri kuvomereza mbali yathu ya mthunzi yomwe ikuwonetseredwa mu mphepo zamdima zitatu zogwirizana ndi Martin Luther King Jr. kubwerera ku 1967: kukondetsa chuma, tsankho, ndi zida zankhondo.
