To be free . . . to walk the good American earth as equal citizens, to live without fear, to enjoy the fruits of our toil, to give our children every opportunity in life--that dream which we have held so long in our hearts is today the destiny that we hold in our hands.
Through my singing and acting and speaking, I want to make freedom ring. Maybe I can touch people's hearts better than I can their minds, with the common struggle of the common man.
The artist must elect to fight for Freedom or for Slavery.
Freedom is a hard-bought thing and millions are in chains, but they strain toward the new day drawing near.
Freedom is a hard-bought thing.
