I maintain that every civil rights bill in this country was passed for white people, not for black people.

The time for running has come to an end. You tell them white folk in Mississippi that all the scared niggers are dead!

Integration is a man's ability to want to move in there by himself. If someone wants to live in a white neighborhood and he is black, that is his choice. It should be his rights. It is not because white people will not allow him.

I also know that while I am black I am a human being, and therefore I have the right to go into any public place. White people didn't know that.Every time I tried to go into a place they stopped me

An organization which claims to speak for the needs of a community must speak in the tone of that community.

There has been only a civil rights movement, whose tone of voice was adapted to an audience of liberal whites.

What a liberal really wants is to bring about change that will not in any way endanger his position.
