James Forman, Jr. Zitate

A black man of my generation born in the late 1960s is more than twice as likely to go to prison in his lifetime then a black man of my father's generation. I was born after the Voting Rights Act, after the Civil Rights Act, after the Fair Housing Act.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ein schwarzer Mann meiner Generation, der Ende der 1960er Jahre geboren wurde, wird zu Lebzeiten mehr als doppelt so oft ins Gefängnis gehen wie ein schwarzer Mann der Generation meines Vaters. Ich wurde nach dem Voting Rights Act, nach dem Civil Rights Act nach dem Fair Housing Act geboren.

I think many of the ideas that opened up in the '60s got implemented in the '70s and that certain minority voices that were not being heard in the '60s, like women and gay people, were being heard in the '70s. Black Civil Rights had also found its foothold, and those ideas were also very pertinent.

I'm more than willing to go to places and talk to people who believe that I am an illegal alien who deserves to be jailed. I want to look them in the eye and say, 'What makes you think I'm any different from you?' I think for our generation, immigration rights is a civil rights issue.

It is impossible to struggle for civil rights, equal rights for blacks, without including whites. Because equal rights, fair play, justice, are all like the air: we all have it, or none of us has it. That is the truth of it.

It is distressing to me that we live in an age in which we still must fight to protect our civil rights as Americans, in which a hate crime perpetrated against someone based their sexual orientation can go unpunished, and in which discrimination is being written into our laws.

John Conyers

I got interested in politics during the civil rights movement and then Vietnam.
