->''One very hot day when he and I were out with Mom, we got very thirsty and started to walk over to a public water fountain. Mom reminded us that we must use the "coloreds" fountain. Being somewhat rambunctious, however, we made sure no one was watching us, and then we drank, first from the forbidden "whites only" fountain, and after that from the "coloreds" fountain. Then we looked at each other and said, "You know what? The 'whites only' water tastes just the same as the 'coloreds' does!"''

-> ''Until the philosophy''
''Which hold one race superior and another''
''Inferior''
''Is finally''
''And permanently''
''Discredited''
''And abandoned''
''Everywhere is war''
''Me say war''
''That until there no longer''
''First class and second class citizens of any nation''
''Until the color of a man's skin''
''Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes''
''Me say war''
''That until the basic human rights''
''Are equally guaranteed to all''
''Without regard to race''
''Dis a war...''
-->-- '''Bob Marley, War'''

Added DiffLines:

-> ''Whatever symbols they embraced, civil-rights activists--much like black activists today--never successfully connected with the hearts of the majority of adults of their own day. The process was neither neat nor particular unifying. In fact, it destroyed the Democratic Party of Roosevelt and Truman. But the activists did sketch a theater of violence, with men like Bull Connor in starring roles, that shamed and embarrassed the country. And aided by an intemperate radicalism within and the Cold War threat without, the activists were able to use that shame to affect meaningful change.''
