Peace
If peace means accepting second class citizenship, then I don’t want it. If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of evil and injustice, then I don’t want it. If peace means being complacent and accepting the status quo, then I don’t want it. If peace means being passive, then I don’t want it. If peace means a willingness to be exploited and humiliated, then that’s the kind of peace that I don’t want—-DR. KING (from his speech in Louisville Kentucky , 1956)
That is white Americans’ definition of peace for Black people and other ethnic groups. Personally, I would rather die fighting for real peace and freedom.

Following my soul….wherever it leads that is where I will go…
