That I am an American, that I have certain privileges
of freedom and worship which others cannot share, that I
have family and friends these are some of the things for
which I can be thankful at this season.
But I may become humble about my privileges when I
think of my responsibilities. My country is at war. Some
of those against whom my country is fighting are my friends
not in a far away sense, but in a very real sense I have
talked and laughed and played and thought and suffered
with them. And I know that they, too, are struggling for
those same things for which I struggled for economic se
curity, for political independence, for religious freedom, for
understanding, for equality, for love.
I am of a generation which lives in a moment of destiny,
which has within its grasp the tremendous possibilities of
creating a new world a world without hate, without re
taliation, without revenge a new world in which there shall
be no divided loyalties to race or nation or economic class
but in which our loyalties shall be to all men everywhere.
I am privileged to be a part of a great university which
has within its power the possibility not only of training
leadership for this new world, but actually of creating with
in itself the seeds from it shall spring.
But my privileges become my responsibilities. And so
ji is that my privileges are of a new kind to share of my
plenty with my own and with students all over the world;
to suffer for the things in which I believe ; to help write a
history, not of chaos and confusion, of war and bloodshed,
but of hope and vision one to which all mankind may justly
point with pride in our own lives and in all generations to
come, that of it they may say, "They dared to die, but
more than that they dared to live that all mankind might
be one."
In such a moment do I live, and for this moment of
privilege and responsibility I am, indeed, thankful.
