I am being tried for fighting for the right of my people, who are still second-class citizens in this United States of America.

Americans will be amazed to find ho many of the modern dance steps are relics of the African heritage.

Like any other people, like fathers, mothers, sons and daughters in every land, when the issue of peace or war has been put squarely to the American people, they have registered for peace.

We must join with the tens of millions all over the world who see in peace our most sacred responsibility.

To be free . . . to walk the good American earth as equal citizens, to live without fear, to enjoy the fruits of our toil, to give our children every opportunity in life--that dream which we have held so long in our hearts is today the destiny that we hold in our hands.

In Russia I felt for the first time like a full human being. No color prejudice like in Mississippi, no color prejudice like in Washington. It was the first time I felt like a human being.

The Korean war has always been an unpopular war among the American people.
