afro-art-chick:

“Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation”

 “Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul.”

“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members, a heart of grace and a soul generated by love.”

“Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.”

 “Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of  bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood.”

“When you are willing to make sacrifices for a great cause, you will never be alone.

“We have a lot more work to do in our common struggle against bigotry and discrimination. I say ‘common struggle’ because I believe very strongly that all forms of bigotry and discrimination are equally wrong and should be opposed by right-thinking Americans everywhere. Freedom from discrimination based on sexual orientation is surely a fundamental human right in any great democracy, as much as freedom from racial, religious, gender, or ethnic discrimination.”

In Memory of Civil rights leader, activist and author Coretta Scott-King (b. April 27, 1927 – d.  January 30, 2006)
