QUOTES

it is necessary to stay on the march, to be on the journey, to work for peace wherever we are at all times, because the liberty we cherish, which we would share with the world, demands eternal vigilance. And democracy is no easy path, but those of us who believe in it must be prepared to sacrifice in its cause more willingly than those who are prepared to die in the wars of aggression. We, too, must be dedicated to the cause of freedom.

“Any form of art is a form of power; it has impact, it can affect change it can not only move us, it makes us move.”

“I find, in being black, a thing of beauty: a joy; a strength; a secret cup of gladness.”

Struggle is strengthening.
