Success, recognition, and conformity are the bywords of the modern world where everyone seems to crave the anesthetizing security of being identified with the majority. ---Martin Luther King, Jr.,1963.
"The events which transpired five thousand years ago, five years ago, or five minutes ago, have determined what will happen five minutes from now; five years from now, or five thousand years from now. ALL HISTORY IS A CURRENT EVENT." ---Dr John Henrik Clarke
When we ask Negroes to abide by the law, let us also declare that the white man does not abide by law in the ghettos. Day in and day out he violates welfare laws to deprive the poor of their meager allotments; he flagrantly violates building codes and regulations; his police make a mockery of law; he violates laws on equal employment and education and the provisions of civil services. The slums are the handiwork of a vicious system of the white society; Negroes live in them, but they do not make them, any more than a prisoner makes a prison. ---Martin Luther King, Jr., The Trumpet of Conscience, 1967.
