QUOTES

"A community is democratic only when the humblest and weakest person can enjoy the highest civil, economic, and social rights that the biggest and most powerful possess."

"The overwhelming majority of blacks are workers, and organized labor is the home of working men and women … so blacks and labor are natural allies."

"Salvation for a race, nation or class must come from within. Freedom is never granted; it is won. Justice is never given; it is exacted; and the struggle must be continuous for freedom is never a final fact, but a continuing evolving process to higher and higher levels of human, social, economic, political and religious relationship."

We must develop huge demonstrations, because the world is used to big dramatic affairs. They think in terms of hundreds of thousands and millions and billions . . . Billions of dollars are appropriated at the twinkling of an eye. Nothing little counts.

"Nothing counts but pressure, pressure, more pressure, and still more pressure through broad organized aggressive mass action."
