Text Quotes
Civil disobedience is the inherent right of a citizen  (Civil Right Quotes) Civil disobedience is the assertion of a right which law should give but which it denies  (Civil Right Quotes) I support the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act  (Civil Right Quotes) The white press itself created civil right leaders  (Civil Right Quotes) We have no right to prejudice another in his civil enjoyments because he is of another church  (Civil Right Quotes) The Civil Rights Movement, it wasn’t just a couple of, you know, superstars like Martin Luther King. It was thousands and thousands - millions, I should say - of people taking risks, becoming leaders in their community  (Civil Right Quotes) I came out of the Civil Rights Movement, and I had a different kind of focus than most people who have just the academic background as their primary training experience  (Civil Right Quotes) I think the Civil Rights Movement changed that trajectory for me. The first thing I did was leave school. I was suspended for my participation in Movement demonstrations in my hometown, December, 1961  (Civil Right Quotes) I don’t say that the supposed Civil Rights development is a myth, but it’s a matter of dealing with reality. It’s purely peripheral and, in many cases, it’s just a facade  (Civil Right Quotes) Eyes is the attempt to tell the story of the Civil Rights movement and to create an emotional, intellectual constituency. But what do you do after that? the black community doesn’t have institutions that pick up such moments and preserve them  (Civil Right Quotes) I’m praying for ‘Ice Age’ 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Because I really think we can run those characters into the 60s, and I’m talking the 1960s, you know? The Civil Rights Movement. That’s what I’m praying for, because then I wouldn’t have to do anything else  (Civil Right Quotes) I took an interest in the Civil Rights Movement. I listened to Martin Luther King. The Vietnam War was raging. When I was 18, I was eligible for the draft, but when I went to be tested, I didn’t qualify  (Civil Right Quotes) The Civil Rights for Musicians Act is about economic justice for African American artists. It’s about what’s right. And it’s about time  (Civil Right Quotes) Homosexuality is not a civil right. Its rise almost always is accompanied, as in the Weimar Republic, with a decay of society and a collapse of its basic cinder block, the family  (Civil Right Quotes) LISTEN: If you ever wondered what you would do if you were alive in the Civil Rights Movement, NOW IS THE TIME to find out. NOW. RIGHT NOW  (Civil Right Quotes) This is nothing new. We saw this with the Social Security Act, the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Right Act - constitutional challenges were brought to all three of these monumental pieces of legislation  (Civil Right Quotes) My parents both were doing the Civil Rights Movement, were very involved with the civil rights to Congress. And my friends’ parents were as well  (Civil Right Quotes) For a black male, the sound of the blues is pre-Civil Rights. It’s oppression  (Civil Right Quotes) A high-speed connection is no more an essential civil right than 3G cell phone service or a Netflix account. Increasing competition and restoring academic excellence in abysmal public schools is far more of an imperative to minority children than handing them iPads  (Civil Right Quotes) Many Americans who supported the initial thrust of civil rights, as represented by the Brown v. Board of Education decision and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, later felt betrayed as the original concept of equal individual opportunity evolved toward the concept of equal group results  (Civil Right Quotes) My parents were very active in the Civil Rights Movement. My father was a Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) worker; my mother was a secretary with the Panthers  (Civil Right Quotes) The social issues outside of football are not as defined as they were earlier, when integration took place and certain rights were legislated. The Civil Rights movement is over. Individuals can buy homes wherever they want, travel first class wherever they want, eat wherever they want  (Civil Right Quotes) Look at the Civil Rights Movement. Look at any kind of fight for change. People had to keep fighting and taking their rights. Rights are never given to you. They have to be fought for and they have to be taken  (Civil Right Quotes) President Obama, right after the Gabby Gifford shooting said we need to usher in a new era of civil discourse in politics. But not heeding his own advice  (Civil Right Quotes) I think young people don’t really know that much about the Civil Rights Movement and about the history of African Americans in this country. It’s not taught enough in school.  (Civil Right Quotes) Protecting the rights of service members was an important part of my work as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights.  (Civil Right Quotes) I explained to the president that I’ve been pleased with my conversations with the Attorney General and Civil Rights Division regarding their helpful understanding that they aren’t taking over this investigation, but are conducting a parallel review of the events that led to Michael Brown’s death.  (Civil Right Quotes) Some of the most moving experiences I’ve had are just in black churches in the South, during the Civil Rights Movement, where people were getting beaten, killed, really struggling for the most elementary rights.  (Civil Right Quotes) Peace is a civil right which makes other human rights possible. Peace is a precondition for our existence. Peace permits our continued existence.  (Civil Right Quotes) Individual civil disobedience was everybody’s inherent right, like the right of self-defence in normal life.  (Civil Right Quotes)
