When You Have Your Own Bus, Then You Have Dignity. When You Have Your Own School, You Have Dignity. When You Have Your Own Country, You Have Dignity.when You Have Something Of Your Own, You Have Dignity. But Whenever You Are Begging For A Chance To Participate In That Which Belongs To Someone Else, Or Use That Which Belongs To Someone Else, On An Equal Basis With The Owner, That's Not Dignity. That's Ignorance.

What You And I Need To Do Is Learn To Forget Our Differences. When We Come Together, We Don't Come Together As Baptists Or Methodists. You Don't Catch Hell 'cause You're A Baptist, And You Don't Catch Hell 'cause You're A Methodist... You Don't Catch Hell Because You're A Democrat Or A Republican. You Don't Catch Hell Because You're A Mason Or An Elk. And You Sure Don't Catch Hell 'cause You're An American; 'cause If You Was An American, You Wouldn't Catch No Hell. You Catch Hell 'cause You're A Black Man. You Catch Hell, All Of Us Catch Hell, For The Same Reason.
