“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 will build a current, that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

 

Robert Kennedy, Capetown, 1966.
