Hello Marah,

The source of Martin Luther King's ?In a real sense,all life is
interrelated.  All [of us] are caught in an inescapable network of
mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny? is the ? Letter from
Birmingham Jail? written on April 16, 1963.


At the following link you may read a copy of this letter. The
quotation is located in paragraph four.

Martin Luther King's
Letter from Birmingham Jail
April 16, 1963 

Paragraph four:
?Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities
and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about
what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice
everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied
in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects
all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow,
provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United
States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its
bounds.?
