“It is important that we, as adults, support young people who are willing and have the courage to stand up against injustice.” Dennis Powell, president, NAACP Berkshire County branch
“I will not allow one prejudiced person or one million or one hundred million to blight my life. I will not let prejudice or any of its attendant humiliations and injustices bear me down to spiritual defeat. My inner life is mine, and I shall defend and maintain its integrity against all the powers of hell.”
--- NAACP pamphlet from 1916
