You Know, I Come From Six Generations

Working In A Situation With Men And Women, And Seeing Women Take On Roles Equal To The Roles Taken By Men Made You Understand That, "hey, These People Can Do Things Too." And I Think It Made Me And Other People In The Movement Realize That We're Living In A Community Of Equals. And That Among Those Equals, They Have Equal Rights. And We Ought To Respect Their Rights If They Respected Ours.

I Now Teach At American University And The University Of Virginia

You Could Not Be In The Civil Rights Movement Without Having An Appreciation For Everybody's Rights. That These Rights Are Not Divisible - Not Something Men Have And Women Don't And So On.

The Humanity Of All Americans Is Diminished When Any Group Is Denied Rights Granted To Others.

I Tell Young People To Prepare Themselves As Best They Can For A World That Grows More Challenging Every Day-get The Best Education They Can, And Couple That Education With Real-life Experience In Social Justice Work.
