(3) That we reject outright any and all special interest groups and leaderships that serve only to deepen our divisions and entrench us, angered, into separate camps;

(4) That we perceive the legitimate struggles for equal justice and rights for everyone not as a cause that divides us, but as the imperative that unites us;

(5) That we not only respect but even celebrate the richness of our varied cultures, manners and traditions as they each, and together, contribute to the unique tapestry of our city;

(6) That in prayer, in attitudes, we foster a new mood of healing and forgiveness so that we transcend not only our differences but even our grievances;

(7) That here and now, at this time and in this city, we stand committed to bring fulfillment to a dream that must compel us all: "When all God's children, black people and white people, Jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants will be able to join hands and sing...'Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty we are free at last!!!' "Free! right here in Boston. Free! from violence. Free! from hatred. Free! from fear of one another, Free! to live together. Free! to learn together. Free! to build together. Free! to celebrate together. Free! to pray to God together.

May God our Father witness our covenant, and out of the harmony of our differences may He grant us unison, in will and wisdom, to keep it.
