I mean a real police state just to get a token recognition of a law. It take, it took, I think, 15,000 troops and 6 million dollars to put one negro in the University of Mississippi. That's a police action, police state action.

In my recent travels into African countries and others, I was impressed by the importance of having a working unity among all peoples, black as well as white.

I for one believe that if you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes that produce it, they'll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action.

Since integration is so slow, and the white man knows the problem must be solved, the only thing that he can do tomorrow is, is separate, because we're already separated.

You and I have never seen democracy; all we've seen is hypocrisy.

To say it is not practical, one has to also admit that integration is not practical.

To tell a woman not to talk too much was like telling Jesse James not to carry a gun, or a hen not to cackle.
