Women's Rights are Human Rights

Quotes of Martin Luther King Jr. as they might apply to women, the forgotten ones in the March for Civil Rights (my words in bold)

A right delayed is a right denied.

All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.

Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.

The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.

Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes (women) in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

(S)He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. (S)He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin (or their genitals), but by the content of their character.

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching (beating and raping) me, and I think that's pretty important.

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

We must learn to live together as brothers (sisters) or perish together as fools.

Anybody want to take a bet on how Ms. Brazile and the rest of the Rules and By-Law Committee will vote on this? Guess Obama and his cronies aren't even going to consider ACORN, caucus fraud or voter intimidation.
