“If a woman earned a dollar by scrubbing, her husband had a right to take the dollar and go and get drunk with it and beat her afterwards. It was his dollar.”

We must be true to each other.

We ask only for justice and equal rights-the right to vote, the right to our own earnings, equality before the law.

If, while I hear the wild shriek of the slave mother robbed of her little ones, I do not open my mouth, am I not guilty?
