QUOTES

The fight for freedom is combined with the fight for equality, and we must realize that this is the fight for America - not just black America but all America.

Anyone who said he wasn't afraid during the civil rights movement was either a liar or without imagination. I was scared all the time. My hands didn't shake but inside I was shaking.

Inner city education must change. Our responsibility is not merely to provide access to knowledge; we must produce educated people.”

Ultimately, Dr. King's dream still has a fascination for me. I shall keep as the ideal an open society where men are brothers -- colorblind if you will -- for eventually humanity must transcend color.
