MLK Letter from Birmingham Prison

• For years now I have heard the word "Wait!"
• It rings in the ear of every Negro with
  piercing familiarity. This "Wait" has almost
  always meant "Never." We must come to see, with
  one of our distinguished jurists, that "justice
  too long delayed is justice denied." We have
  waited for more than 340 years for our
  constitutional and God-given rights.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise
up and live out the true meaning of its creed
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that
all men are created equal."I have a dream that
one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of
former slaves and the sons of former slave owners
will be able to sit down together at the table of
brotherhood.And when this happens, when we
allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from
every village and every hamlet, from every state
and every city, we will be able to speed up that
day when all of God's children, black men and
white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and
Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in
the words of the old Negro spiritualFree at
last! Free at last!Thank God Almighty, we are
free at last!

The Student Movement

• Students are niggers. When you get that straight,
  our schools begin to make sense. It's more
  important, though, to understand why they're
  niggers. If we follow that question seriously
  enough, it will lead up past the zone of academic
  bullshit.
• What school amounts to, for white and black
  alike, is a 12-year course in how to be slaves.
  What else could explain what I see in a freshman
  class? They've got that slave mentality obliging
  and ingratiating on the surface but hostile and
  resistant underneath.
• Jerry Farber, 1969

Second Wave Feminism

• The problem lay buried, unspoken for many years
  in the minds of American women. It was a strange
  stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning
  that women suffered in the middle of the
  twentieth century in the United States. Each
  suburban housewife struggled with it alone. As
  she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched
  slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches
  with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and
  Brownies, lay beside her husband at night, she
  was afraid to ask even of herself the silent
  question
• Is this all?
• - Betty Friedan
• A woman without a man is like a fish without a
  bicycle. - Gloria Steinem
