• The royalists of the economic order have conceded that political freedom was the business of the government, but they have maintained that economic slavery was nobody's business. They granted that the government could protect the citizen in his right to vote, but they denied that the government could do anything to protect the citizen in his right to work and his right to live. Today we stand committed to the proposition that freedom is no half-and-half affair. If the average citizen is guaranteed equal opportunity in the polling place, he must have equal opportunity in the market place.

• Siempre me ha interesado la historia, pero nunca se ha enseñado la historia de los negros en las escuelas públicas... No veo cómo se puede escribir honestamente una historia de Estados Unidos sin incluir a los negros. No lo hice [pintar] sólo como algo histórico, sino porque creo que estas cosas están relacionadas con el negro de hoy. No tenemos una esclavitud física, sino económica. Si esta gente, que estaba mucho peor que la gente de hoy, pudo conquistar su esclavitud, sin duda nosotros podemos hacer lo mismo....No soy político. Soy un artista, sólo intento aportar mi granito de arena para que esto salga adelante.

• We in Africa are always on the receiving end. We have had human slavery, political slavery, economic slavery and now religious slavery. We in the church are saying no. We are prepared to live by what God says, not what you say. Man shall not sleep with man, woman shall not sleep with woman.
