Judge not that ye be judged; we carried the torch to the goal. The goal is won: guard the fire: it is yours: but remember our soul. Breathes through the life that we saved, when our lives went out in the night: Your body is woven of ours: see that the torch is alight.

I regard it as a duty which I owed, not just to my people, but also to my profession, to the practice of law, and to the justice for all mankind, to cry out against this discrimination which is essentially unjust and opposed to the whole basis of the attitude towards justice which is part of the tradition of legal training in this country. I believed that in taking up a stand against this injustice I was upholding the dignity of what should be an honorable profession.
