It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society.

When people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory.

The Universe is on the side of Justice

We must have our freedom now. We must have the right to vote. We must have equal protection of the law.

Pity may represent little more than the impersonal concern which prompts the mailing of a check, but true sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one's soul.

Courageous men never lose the zest for living even though their life situation is zestless; cowardly men, overwhelmed by the uncertainties of life, lose the will to live. We must constantly build dykes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.

We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters.
