"We
can shape the national sentiment with our voices of compassion and
reason. We can send the simple message that we must not kill innocent
people in the name of justice." -- Fran Korten
"I
believe in liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms and
their souls; the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom to
choose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads,
uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a
kingdom of beauty and love." -- W. E. B. Du Bois
