March 29, 1960 Dear Young Friends: This is a very small gesture on my part, but I would like to commend you for your courage of conviction, your non-violent commitment, and your willingness to stand up and be counted in this struggle for freedom. Be assured of my prayers that God will give you His Spirit in abundance and guide you in all wisdom and love as you seek ways to express your desire for human rights. Cordially yours, [Signature] E.
