If peace means conserving my mouth shut within the midst of injustice and evil, I don’t need it. If peace means being complacently adjusted to a deadening status-quo, I don’t need peace. If peace means a willingness to be exploited economically, dominated politically, humiliated and segregated, I don’t need peace.’
