Together, All Things Are Possible

Until The Chance For Political Participation Is There, We Who Are Poor Will Continue To Attack The Soft Part Of The American System - Its Economic Structure. We Will Build Power Through Boycotts, Strikes, New Union - Whatever Techniques We Can Develop. These Attacks On The Status Quo Will Come, Not Because We Hate, But Because We Know America Can Construct A Humane Society For All Its Citizens - And That If It Does Not, There Will Chaos.

Do Not Romanticize The Poor...we Are All People, Human Beings Subject To The Same Temptations And Faults As All Others. Our Poverty Damages Our Dignity.

Because We Have Suffered, And We Are Not Afraid To Suffer In Order To Survive, We Are Ready To Give Up Everything - Even Our Lives - In Our Struggle For Justice.

In Some Cases Non-violence Requires More Militancy Than Violence.

...there Has To Be Someone Who Is Willing To Do It, Who Is Willing To Take Whatever Risks Are Required. I Don't Think It Can Be Done With Money Alone. The Person Has To Be Dedicated To The Task. There Has To Be Some Other Motivation.
