Robert Fisk On Egypt Unrest
"A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.
So we’re going to stand up right here amid horses. We’re going to stand up right here in Alabama amid the billy clubs. We’re going to stand up right here in Alabama amid police dogs if they have them. We’re going to stand up amid tear gas. We’re going to stand up amid anything that they can muster up, letting the world know that we are determined to be free."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Selma, Alabama
March 8, 1965
