The Most Luxurious Possession, The Richest Treasure Anybody Has, Is His Personal Dignity.

I Don't Think That I Or Any Other Negro, As An American Citizen, Should Have To Ask For Anything That Is Rightfully His. We Are Demanding That We Just Be Given The Things That Are Rightfully Ours And That We're Not Looking For Anything Else.

A Life Is Not Important Except In The Impact It Has On Other Lives.
