This sentence was said by Martin Luther King, a famous American civil rights figure. In the end, what we will remember is not the words of women, but the silence of friends. Considering the background at that time, Martin Luther King wanted to call on his black compatriots to stand up and unite against racial discrimination. It can be understood that, in the final analysis, it is not that others are still discriminating against us (black compatriots), or even worse than now, but that our compatriots are not brave enough to stand up and fight for their due rights and remain indifferent.

Can also understand the silent support of friends! ~ ~ In short, both meanings can be understood ~
