For goodness sake, will they hear, will white people hear what we are trying to say? Please, all we are asking you to do is to recognize that we are humans, too. Desmond Tutu
We shall be free only together, black and white. We shall survive only together, black and white. We can be human only together, black and white. Desmond Tutu
