Text Quotes
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was vigorously and vociferously opposed by the Southern states. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed it into law nonetheless. (Civil Quotes)
I think every high school student who was alert during the early 60s got very embittered by the slow progress and the violence surrounding the Civil Rights Movement. (Civil Quotes)
One of the triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement is that when you travel through the South today, you do not feel overwhelmed by a residue of grievance and hate. (Civil Quotes)
I think, along with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks will go down as one of the two most well-known and remembered figures out of the Civil Rights Movement. (Civil Quotes)
You grow up with a heightened sense of the Civil Rights Movement, but I think it wasn’t until I became of age that I really had a great appreciation for the struggle that took place. (Civil Quotes)
I was proud to march beside some of the most notable Civil Rights activists, such as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Joseph L. Rauh, Jr., from Selma to Montgomery. (Civil Quotes)
We have a tendency to sugar coat the Civil Rights movement by showing arm in arm and everyone singing ‘Kumbaya’. We don’t really always show the resistance from the government, the resistance from the status quo, from the majority to silence the movement. (Civil Quotes)
You know you don’t see hospital consultants going on strike, and I don’t believe that teachers and head teachers should. It’s within their rights, it’s a civil right, but I think it is wrong in terms of the reputation of the profession. (Civil Quotes)
I don’t think that anyone has been really created more by the white press than the civil right leaders. (Civil Quotes)
[Democrats] are not handling the John Lewis flap the right way, clearly. John Lewis is a hero and a civil rights hero. (Civil Quotes)
Confirming John Roberts would endanger much of the progress made by the nation in civil rights over the past half century. (Civil Quotes)
You cannot understand the politics of today without understanding the Civil Rights Movement and the role it played in our society. (Civil Quotes)
Rosa Parks was primed, she had the Civil Rights Movement behind her, she didn’t just decide to sit on the bus, it was strategic. (Civil Quotes)
Obviously, In The Heat Of The Night was a landmark movie because the timing was perfect. It was in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement. (Civil Quotes)
If Willie Nelson had been Rosa Parks, there never would have been a civil rights movement in this country, because he refuses to leave the back of the bus. (Civil Quotes)
What is needed in the world today is a Civil Rights Movement for the Soul, freeing humanity at last from the oppression of its belief in a violent, angry, and vindictive God. (Civil Quotes)
Everything African-Americans - every freedom they have obtained - came from Republicans, not Democrats. All the way back to the Emancipation Proclamation, to the Civil Rights movement. Civil Rights legislation was passed by a Republican Congress. (Civil Quotes)
I think art can really serve to inspire a movement - and, of course, it has in the past. The Civil Rights movement wouldn’t have the same resonance without the songs from everyone from Pete Seeger to Odetta to James Brown. (Civil Quotes)
We chose to frame March around the inauguration of Barack Obama because it was such an important moment in the story of the Civil Rights Movement. It wasn’t the fulfillment of Dr. [Martin Luther] King’s dream, but it was a major down payment. (Civil Quotes)
No Republican questions or disputes civil rights. I have never wavered in my support for civil rights or the civil rights act. (Civil Quotes)
When I was at ‘Newsweek’ magazine - which, you know, this really sounds like I walked four miles in the snow to school - but I started at ‘Newsweek’ magazine in 1963, which was before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. So it was actually legal to discriminate against women, and ‘Newsweek’ did. (Civil Quotes)
The civil rights movement in the United States was about the same thing, about equality of treatment for all sections of the people, and that is precisely what our movement was about. (Civil Quotes)
I’ve supported civil rights activity in my state. I have done my job with integrity, equality and fairness for all. (Civil Quotes)

Civil rights leaders are involved in helping poor people. That’s what I’ve been doing all my life. (Civil Quotes)

It was clear to me as a civil rights leader in the 60s that unless we put the social and economic underpinnings beneath the political and the civil rights, we wouldn’t go anywhere. (Civil Quotes)
Missing from the national conversation are voices of pro-immigration reformers and civil rights leaders, who can speak on behalf of those who have no voice. (Civil Quotes)
Anyone who said he wasn’t afraid during the civil rights movement was either a liar or without imagination. I was scared all the time. My hands didn’t shake but inside I was shaking. (Civil Quotes)
That’s what he was saying, the civil rights movement - judge me for my character, not how black my skin is, not how yellow my skin is, how short I am, how tall or fat or thin; It’s by my character. (Civil Quotes)
