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. (Rights 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. (Rights Quotes)
I’ve supported civil rights activity in my state. I have done my job with integrity, equality and fairness for all. (Rights Quotes)
If we do not save the environment, then whatever we do in civil rights will be of no meaning, because then we will have the equality of extinction. (Rights Quotes)
Civil rights leaders are involved in helping poor people. That’s what I’ve been doing all my life. (Rights Quotes)
Michael Jackson is an accidental civil rights leader - an accidental pioneer. He broke ground and barriers in so many different realms in artistry, in pictures, in movies, in music, you name it. (Rights 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. (Rights 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. (Rights 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. (Rights 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. (Rights Quotes)

It was so crucial to the Civil Rights Movement that on June 23, 1963, Martin Luther King came to town, walked down Woodward Avenue with more than 100,000 people and delivered the first major public iteration of his I Have A Dream speech, two months before he did it in Washington. (Rights Quotes)
It is only with the rise of the Civil Rights Movement that you begin to see different examinations of not only Reconstruction but slavery itself, and there is a lesson to be drawn here about how the times influence the writing of history, something that we should never forget. (Rights Quotes)
As a southerner born after the epic events of the civil rights movement, I’ve always wondered how on earth people of good will could have conceivably lived with Jim Crow - with the daily degradations, the lynchings in plain sight, and, as the movement gathered force, with the fire hoses and the police dogs and the billy clubs. (Rights Quotes)
I had never read a book written by an African-American. I didn’t know that black people could write books. I didn’t know that blacks had done any great things. I was always conscious of my inferiority and I always remembered my place - until the Civil Rights Movement came to the town where I was born and grew up. (Rights Quotes)
There’s no problem on the planet that can’t be solved without violence. That’s the lesson of the civil rights movement. (Rights Quotes)
