Civil Rights Quotes
Showing: 1 - 10 Civil Rights Quotes of 14
The myth of integration as propounded under the banner of the liberal ideology must be cracked because it makes people believe that something is being achieved when in reality the artificially integrated circles are a soporific to the blacks while salving the consciences of the few guilt-stricken whites.
American civil rights leader, Letter from a Birmingham Jail" There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into an abyss of injustice where they experience the blackness of corroding despair.
American civil rights leader, Letter from a Birmingham Jail" I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

The future of American Negroes is in the South... . First and greatest of these possible allies are the white working classes about you. The poor whites whom you have been taught to despise and who in turn have learned to fear and hate you. This must not deter you from efforts to make them understand, because in the past, in their ignorance and suffering, they have been led foolishly to look upon you as the cause of most of their distress. You must remember that this attitude is hereditary and that it has been deliberately cultivated ever since emancipation. Slowly but surely the working people of the South, white and black, must come to remember that their emancipation depends upon their mutual cooperation; upon their acquaintanceship with each other; upon their friendship; upon their social intermingling. Unless this happens, each is going to be made the football to break the heads and hearts of the other.
