There is nothing we can do about the lynching now, as we are out-numbered and without arms.

The South resented giving the Afro-American his freedom, the ballot box and the Civil Rights Law.

The negro has suffered far more from the commission of this crime against the women of his race by white men than the white race has ever suffered through his crimes.

The lesson this teaches and which every Afro-American should ponder well, is that a Winchester rifle should have a place of honor in every black home, and it should be used for that protection which the law refuses to give. When the white man who is always the aggressor knows he runs as great a risk of biting the dust every time his Afro-American victim does, he will have greater respect for Afro-American life. The more the Afro-American yields and cringes and begs, the more he has to do so, the more he is insulted, outraged and lynched.

Those who commit the murders write the reports.

One had better die fighting against injustice than die like a dog or a rat in a trap.

The appeal to the white man's pocket has ever been more effectual than all the appeals ever made to his conscience.
