offensive words without losing their moral sense of right or wrong. They live with
offensive words, offensive looks, offensive treatment everyday. "
** " Injustice anywhere is a threat everywhere. " -- Martin Luther King, Jr.
** " Today we make the jury think the cops lie about little things. So tomorrow we could
make the jury think that the cops also lie about big things. "
