Either America Will Destroy Ignorance Or Ignorance

Whether You Like It Or Not The Millions Are Here, And Here They Will Remain. If You Do Not Lift Them Up, They Will Pull You Down... Education Must Not Simply Teach Work - It Must Teach Life.

We Must Complain. Yes, Plain, Blunt Complaint, Ceaseless Agitation, Unfailing Exposure Of Dishonesty And Wrong - This Is The Ancient, Unerring Way To Liberty And We Must Follow It.

Begin With Art, Because Art Tries To Take Us Outside Ourselves. It Is A Matter Of Trying To Create An Atmosphere And Context So Conversation Can Flow Back And Forth And We Can Be Influenced By Each Other.

We Shall Never Secure Emancipation From The Tyranny Of The White Oppressor Until We Have Achieved It In Our Own Souls.

I Believe In Liberty For All Men: The Space To Stretch Their Arms And Their Souls; The Right To Breathe And The Right To Vote, The Freedom To Choose Their Friends, Enjoy The Sunshine, And Ride On The Railroads, Uncursed By Color; Thinking, Dreaming, Working As They Will In A Kingdom Of Beauty And Love.
