They are not yet freed from the bonds of injustice. They are not yet freed from social and economic oppression. And this Nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free." to revise the definition of freedom to explain the bonds of injustice to explain the rights of heirs and grandsons to explain the passage of time
