“These are revolutionary times. All over the globe men are revolting against old systems of exploitation and oppression and out of the wombs of a frail world, new systems of justice and equality are being born. The shirtless and barefoot people of the land are raising up as never before.”
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands at moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
Revolution is not about accepting things as they are, rather, it is leaving your circle of comfort and safety, facing the danger for the hope that tomorrow will be better than today. And that can apply to the fight for EDUCATION. for GAY RIGHTS. for ETHNIC STUDIES. for CIVIL RIGHTS. What makes an activist true is their will to fight for a strangers’ rights, knowing that the greater picture will always be bigger than one’s own.
