I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen after many years of tyranny, exploitation and oppression of my people by the whites.Nelson Mandela
Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.Nelson Mandela
The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.Martin Luther King
To hold a people in oppression you have to convince them first that they are supposed to be oppressed. John Henrik Clarke
