if I fall, I will fall five-feet four-inches forward in the fight for freedom.

You know I'm not hung up on this liberating myself from the "black" man - I'm not going to try that thing.

We are here to work side-by-side with this "black" man in trying to bring liberation to all our people!

This white man who is saying "it takes time." For three hundred and more years they have had "time," and now it is time for them to listen.

That's why I believe in Christianity because the Scriptures said: "The things that have been done in the dark will be known on the house tops."

I think there will be great leaders emerging from the State of Mississippi. The people that have the experience to know and the people not interested in letting somebody pat you on the back and tell us "I think it is right." And it is very important for us not to accept a compromise and after I got back to Mississippi, people there said it was the most important step that had been taken.

When I liberate others, I liberate myself.
