« Oui, si vous voulez dire que j'ai été un tambourmajor, dites que j'ai été un tambour-major pour la justice. Dites que j'ai été un tambour-major pour la paix. Dites que j'ai été un tambour-major pour la droiture. Et toutes les autres paroles creuses seront sans importance.» Martin Luther King Jr, « Sermon sur l’Instinct du Tambour-Major » 4 février 1968
