We got to face some facts. That the masses are poor, that the masses belong to what you call the lower class, and when I talk about the masses, I'm talking about the white masses, I'm talking about the black masses, and the brown masses, and the yellow masses, too. We've got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. We say you don't fight racism with racism. We're gonna fight racism with solidarity. We say you don't fight capitalism with no black capitalism; you fight capitalism with socialism.
Edmond Rostand
All my laurels you have riven away, and my roses; yet in spite of you, there is one crown I bear away with me. . . One thing without stain, unspotted from the world, in spite of doom mine own! And that is. . . my white plume.
