truth, logic and courage from the congress of racial equality
www.core-online.org/News/guest_articles/articles1.htm
This article, by Roy and Niger Innis, was written before the 2000 election, but it is even more appropriate today as we look to 2008. Info about CORE from their website:
Founded in 1942, CORE is the third oldest and one of the "Big Four" civil rights groups in the United States. From the protests against "Jim Crow" laws of the 40's through the "Sit-ins" of the 50's, the "Freedom Rides" of the 60's, the cries for "Self-Determination" in the 70's, "Equal Opportunity" in the 80's, community development in the 90's, to the current demand for equal access to information, CORE has championed true equality. As the "shock troops" and pioneers of the civil rights movement, CORE has paved the way for the nation to follow.
Under the banner of "TRUTH! LOGIC! & COURAGE!", CORE continues to promote harmony and healing in all aspects of society; calling the shots straight--even when it hurts--and confronting the haters, race baiters and racial racketeers bent on keeping us apart.
Amen to that, brothers!
