When I Say I Love Eastland, It Sounds Preposterous A Man Who Brutalizes People. But You Love Him Or You Wouldn't Be Here. You're Going To Mississippi To Create Social Change And You Love Eastland In Your Desire To Create Conditions Which Will Redeem His Children. Loving Your Enemy Is Manifest In Putting Your Arms Not Around The Man But Around The Social Situation, To Take Power From Those Who Misuse It At Which Point They Can Become Human Too.

Both Morally And Practically, Segregation Is To Me A Basic Injustice. Since I Believe It To Be So, I Must Attempt To Remove It. There Are Three Ways In Which One Can Deal With An Injustice. (a) One Can Accept It Without Protest. (b) On Can Seek To Avoid It. (c) One Can Resist The Injustice Non-violently. To Accept It Is To Perpetuate It.

The Only Weapon We Have Is Our Bodies, And We Need To Tuck Them In Places So Wheels Don't Turn

The Organizers And Perpetuators Of Segregation Are As Much The Enemy Of America As Any Foreign Invader.

Every Gay Who Is In The Closet Is Ultimately A Threat To The Freedom Of Gays. I Don't Want To Seem Intolerant To Them And I Think We Have To Say That To Them With A Great Deal Of Affection, But Remaining In The Closet Is The Other Side Of The Prejudice Against Gays. Because Until You Challenge It, You Are Not Playing An Active Role In Fighting It.
