"[People] who strike out against injustice
show the highest form of courage.
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of
others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of
hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and
daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls
of oppression and resistance." Robert F. Kennedy in 1966 _______________________ “Where, after all, do universal human rights
begin? In small places, close to
home, so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the
world. Yet they are the world of the
individual person: the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he
attends; the factory, farm or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman
and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity, without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there,
they have little meaning anywhere.
Without concerned citizen action to uphold them close to home, we
shall look in vain for progress in the larger world” Eleanor Roosevelt
March 28, 1958 |
