| “Beati misericordes: quoniam ipsi misericordiam consequentur. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled.” – Matthew 5:6 “We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust…We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.” – Thurgood Marshall “I don't favor violence. If we could bring about recognition and respect of our people by peaceful means, well and good. Everybody would like to reach his objectives peacefully. But I'm also a realist. The only people in this country who are asked to be nonviolent are black people.” |
