“There is more than one way to be Kluxed, and we need to think about ourselves and the kind of people we elect into public office.”
Stetson Kennedy

“I recall Ghandi said ultimately all things devolve into the political, but I'd argue that all things devolve into pro-people and anti-people. And I can pose the question, which side are you on?”
Stetson Kennedy

“The bed sheet brigade is bad enough, but the real threat to Americans and human rights today is the plain clothes Klux in the halls of government and certain black-robed Klux on court benches.”
Stetson Kennedy
