Freedom Is A Hard-bought Thing.

I Am Being Tried For Fighting For The Right Of My People, Who Are Still Second-class Citizens In This United States Of America.

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.

Artists Are The Gate Keepers Of Truth. We Are Civilization’s Radical Voice.

As Americans, Preserving The Best Of Our Traditions, We Have The Right- Nay The Duty-to Fight For Participation In The Forward March Of Humanity

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.
