Quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.
“I am 11 year old and I wonder what My future and the future of 11 year old Russian boys will be? If you President Kennedy and you Mr Kruschev will try to be real friend Maybe the American boys and the Russian boys will in the year of 1999. If both of you are real friends it will mean life to all boys and girls. Please try to be friends and help the whole world. I save stamps so would you help me out by both signing these stamps [I sent you] and put the date on them and mail them to me. … I hope I can get you each to sign the stamps I sent to you and Mr. Kruschev. K for Kennedy and K for Kruschev and K for Kindness so Why not be real friends, Your friend, George H. Garland”

There, he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history.
