“White Americans must be made to understand the basic motives underlying Negro demonstrations. Many pent-up resentments and latent frustrations are boiling inside the Negro, and he must release them. It is not a threat but a fact of history that if an oppressed people's pent-up emotions are not nonviolently released, they will be violently released.” PeopleIfsMadeFactsWhiteEmotionThreatReleaseMotiveFrustrationResentmentOppressedDemonstrationLatentBoiling Author:Martin Luther King, Jr.
“I feel myself always the patriot of all oppressed fatherlands. Nationality is a historic, local fact which, like all real and harmless facts, has the right to claim general acceptance. Every people, like every person, is involuntarily that which it is and therefore has a right to be itself. Nationality is not a principle; it is a legitimate fact, just as individuality is. Every nationality, great or small, has the incontestable right to be itself, to live according to its own nature. This right is simply the corollary of the general principal of freedom.” PeopleFeelsPersonsRealFactsPrinciplesAcceptanceClaimsIndividualityLocalsPrincipalPatriotOppressedHistoricNationalityFatherland Author:Mikhail Bakunin
