Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. Howard Zinn
All of us who are openly gay are living and writing the history of our movement. We are no more – and no less – heroic than the suffragists and abolitionists of the 19th century; and the labor organizers, Freedom Riders, Stonewall demonstrators, and environmentalists of the 20th century. We are ordinary people, living our lives, and trying as civil-rights activist Dorothy Cotton said, to ‘fix what ain’t right’ in our society. Senator Tammy Baldwin
Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. Cesar Chavez
At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality. Ernesto Che Guevara
Ideally, what should be said to every child, repeatedly, throughout his or her school life is something like this: ‘You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, but it is the best we can do. What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are being taught by people who have been able to accommodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their predecessors. It is a self-perpetuating system. Those of you who are more robust and individual than others will be encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself — educating your own judgments. Those that stay must remember, always, and all the time, that they are being molded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this particular society.” Doris Lessing
The very ink with which history is written is merely fluid prejudice. Mark Twain
As women we must stand up for ourselves. As women, we must stand up for each other. As women, we must stand up for justice for all. Michelle Obama
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. Desmond Tutu
Walk the street with us into history. Get off the sidewalk. Dolores Huerta
Nobody in the world, nobody in history, had ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them. Assata Shakur
Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands? Ernest Gaines
Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other’s welfare, social justice can never be attaÂÂined. Helen Keller
Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world. Paolo Freire
History is more or less bunk. Henry Ford
