"The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride."--Ukrainian President Voldomyr Zelenskyy "There is no purgatory for war criminals. They go straight to hell."--Ukraine's U.N. Ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya

"I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice."--Martin Luther King, Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail “The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power.”--Martin Luther King, Jr. “It may be true that morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. It may be true that the law cannot change the heart but it can restrain the heartless. It may be true that the law can't make a man love me, but it can restrain him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important also.”--Martin Luther King, Jr. 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.- Martin Luther King Jr.
