"Ain't nothing going to be handed to you on a silver platter, nothing. That's not jus’ black people, that's people in general, masses. See, I'm with the masses. So, you don't ever get nothing, jus’t walk up and say, 'Here it is.' You've got to fight. Every step of the way, you've got to fight."

---Fannie Lou Hamer, Civil Rights activist (SNCC) and political candidate (MFDP)
