Civil Rights Quotes

I maintain that every civil rights bill in this country was passed for white people, not for black people Picture Quote #1

There has been only a civil rights movement, whose tone of voice was adapted to an audience of liberal whites Picture Quote #1

The human rights community has focused very narrowly on political and civil rights for many decades, and with reason, but now we have to ask how can we broaden the view Picture Quote #1

The tragedy of the civil rights movement is that just as it achieved the beginning of the end of racial segregation, white educated elites became swept up in the glamour of the sexual revolution Picture Quote #1

Make men wise, and by that very operation you make them free. Civil liberty follows as a consequence of this; no usurped power can stand against the artillery of opinion Picture Quote #1

We grew up as kids watching those movies and we were exposed to themes of civil rights, unfairness, bigotry and fathers struggling against the kind of mob of the town, so you remember how you felt as a kid being taken seriously, that you are part of the human drama Picture Quote #1

There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins. Religious beliefs are sacred to people, and at all times should be respected and honored. As a civil rights activist of the past 40 years, I cannot support a show that disrespects those beliefs and practices Picture Quote #1

The crucial role communists played in organizing industrial unions in the 1930s and struggling for social reforms, peace, and civil rights strengthened rather then undermined democratic forces Picture Quote #1

I knew someone had to take the first step and I made up my mind not to move Picture Quote #1

Civil rights leaders are involved in helping poor people. That’s what I’ve been doing all my life Picture Quote #1

Thought that is silenced is always rebellious. Majorities, of course, are often mistaken. This is why the silencing of minorities is necessarily dangerous. Criticism and dissent are the indispensable antidote to major delusions Picture Quote #1

The laws ought to be so framed as to secure the safety of every citizen as much as possible.... Political liberty does not consist in the notion that a man may do whatever he pleases; liberty is the right to do whatsoever the laws allow.... The equality of the citizens consists in that they should all be subject to the same laws Picture Quote #1

There’s no problem on the planet that can’t be solved without violence. That’s the lesson of the civil rights movement Picture Quote #1

We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now Picture Quote #1

People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn’t true. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in Picture Quote #1

Of the liberty of conscience in matters of religious faith, of speech and of the press; of the trial by jury of the vicinage in civil and criminal cases; of the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus; of the right to keep and bear arms... If these rights are well defined, and secured against encroachment, it is impossible that government should ever degenerate into tyranny Picture Quote #1

Probably, the nature of homophobia will never be widely interrogated, while we will continue to be excluded from school curricula, subjected to vicious media distortions, or entirely ignored, denied basic civil rights while our demands are ridiculed and derided. But in the midst of all this only one thing has changed for certain. We have changed. We will never go back into the closet Picture Quote #1

You didn’t see me on television, you didn’t see news stories about me. The kind of role that I tried to play was to pick up pieces or put together pieces out of which I hoped organization might come. My theory is, strong people don’t need strong leaders Picture Quote #1

Black power got to moving so fast that we miscalculated the fallout. I certainly have to take some of the responsibility of that; but there was no way we anticipated the response Picture Quote #1

It is my hope that the pagan media and academic establishment will implode on the force of its own corruption and stagnation Picture Quote #1

I think I came here as a priest... The priest is more concerned with heresy than with sin; sins can be forgiven; heresy must be eliminated Picture Quote #1

If someone needs to express their gender in a way that is different, that is okay, and they should not be denied healthcare. They should not be bullied. They don’t deserve to be victims of violence... That’s what people need to understand, that it’s okay and that if you are uncomfortable with it, then you need to look at yourself Picture Quote #1

It’s so simple: Right to marriage is a civil right, which like all civil rights should not depend on what state you happen to live in Picture Quote #1

As a civil rights activist of the past 40 years, I cannot support a show that disrespects those beliefs and practices Picture Quote #1

Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them Picture Quote #1

Civil rights are civil rights. There are no persons who are not entitled to their civil rights. We have to recognize that we have a long way to go, but we have to go that way together Picture Quote #1

We’ve learned that it will take more than one generation to bring about change. The fight for civil rights has developed into a broader concern for human rights, and that encompasses a great many people and countries. Those of us who live in a democracy have a responsibility to be the voice for those whose voices are stilled Picture Quote #1

I was always a politician from the day the civil rights people chose me as their protest singer Picture Quote #1

Selfish men were... trying to make capital for themselves out of the sacred cause of civil rights Picture Quote #1

I believe that education is the civil rights issue of our generation. And if you care about promoting opportunity and reducing inequality, the classroom is the place to start. Great teaching is about so much more than education; it is a daily fight for social justice Picture Quote #1
