You may choose your mate, but you cannot deny someone else the right to choose their mate.

If whites would vote their economic interests, not their racial fears, we the people who have the most need for change have the power to bring about that change nonviolently.

Look at the coded language the Right is using against President Barack Obama. Openly calling him a liar in Congress, saying he is 'not a Christian, he was not born here, he is not one of us.' That makes addressing such issues trickier for the first African-American in the White House.

We are facing a stiff wind right now, but if we persist and keep fighting back, we will prevail.
Jesse Jackson
Image
The trouble is that nonviolence is so often defined as refusal to fight, and that is the American definition of cowardice. In fact, marching unarmed against the guns and dogs of the police requires more courage than does aggression. The perverted idea of manhood coming from the barrel of a gun is what keeps people from understanding nonviolence.

We campaigned across the South . . . without a single catcall or boo. It was not until we got north to New York that we began to hear this from Koch, President Reagan, and then Mrs. Ferraro . . . . Some people are making hysteria while I'm making history.

We live on the dash between our birth date and our death date.

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

You may not be responsible for being down, but you must be responsible for getting up.

You can't teach what you don't know. And you can't lead where you don't go.
