-- Ralph Abernathy
* "We intend to make this world the most beautiful, glorious planet that any human being can imagine and, really, beyond anything any human being can imagine."
-- Hafsat Abiola
* "Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong."

* “Whereas our ancestors (not of choice) were the first successful cultivators of the wilds of America, we their descendants feel ourselves entitled to participate in the blessings of her luxuriant soil.”
-- Richard Allen

* "We cannot change the past, but we can change our attitude toward it. Uproot guilt and plant forgiveness. Tear out arrogance and seed humility. Exchange love for hate --- thereby, making the present comfortable and the future promising."
-- Maya Angelou

* "We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race."
-- Kofi Annan

* "In order for us as poor and oppressed people to become part of a society that is meaningful, the system under which we now exist has to be radically changed... It means facing a system that does not lend its self to your needs and devising means by which you change that system."
