26 quotes, most often on Freedom, Race and Hope.
I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.
It was during those long and lonely years that my hunger for the freedom of my own people became a hunger for the freedom of all people, white and black.
I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for. But, my lord, if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.
