Good things don't come to those who wait. They come to those who agitate!
Julian Bond

Julian Bond
Working in a situation with men and women, and seeing women take on roles equal to the roles taken by men made you understand that, "Hey, these people can do things too." And I think it made me and other people in the movement realize that we're living in a community of equals. And that among those equals, they have equal rights. And we ought to respect their rights if they respected ours.
Julian Bond
It takes people who have a widespread series of experiences to develop future leaders. It takes people who aren't afraid to challenge and move forward.
