Those who commit the murders write the reports.

The Afro-American is not a bestial race. If this work can contribute in any way towards proving this, and at the same time arouse the conscience of the American people to a demand for justice to every citizen, and punishment by law for the lawless, I shall feel I have done my race a service. Other considerations are of minor importance.

The people must know before they can act, and there is no educator to compare with the press.

The only times an Afro-American who was assaulted got away has been when he had a gun and used it in self-defense.

Virtue knows no color line.

It is extremely rough to follow through with my goals, but I felt a responsibility to show the world what the African Americans are facing through this rough patch.

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