  6. A quotation from Malcolm X

    Hence I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.

    Malcolm X (1925-1965) American revolutionary, religious leader [b. Malcolm Little]
    Autobiography of Malcolm X, ch. 1 (1964) [with Alex Haley]

  7. A quotation from Thoreau

    I wish my countrymen to consider, that whatever the human law may be, neither an individual nor a nation can ever commit the least act of injustice against the obscurest individual, without having to pay the penalty for it. A government which deliberately enacts injustice, and persists in it, will at length even become the laughing-stock of the world.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
    Speech (1854-07-04), “Slavery in Massachusetts,” Anti-Slavery Celebration, Framingham, Massachusetts
