What we have here is a prosecution that was baseless, a prosecution that chilled African Americans right to vote.

I would die to preserve the law upon a solid foundation; but take away liberty, and the foundation is destroyed.

When I was a medical student, a pulmonary professor of mine cajoled me into joining a clinical trial that she was running.

The severest trial of oppression is the constant outrage which one suffers at the thought of the oppressor. What Jesus discovered was how to avoid the inner devastations.
