To protest against injustice is the foundation of all our American democracy.
The process of democracy is one of change. Our laws are not frozen into immutable form, they are constantly in the process of revision in response to the needs of a changing society.
Our Constitution is the envy of the world, as it should be for it is the grand design of the finest nation on earth.
Today's Constitution is a realistic document of freedom only because of several corrective amendments. Those amendments speak to a sense of decency and fairness that I and other Blacks cherish.
