Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. | |
— Robert F. Kennedy | |
From his “Day of Affirmation” speech given to National Union of South African Students members at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, on June 6, 1966 | |
