Ralph Abernathy

History will treat me right.

Everything I learned about the Great Depression was from a college textbook.

I went to jail 44 times. I've been beaten and left for dead on the side of the road fighting for freedom... Yet Rosa Parks is better known in history than Ralph David Abernathy. Why is that?

Christians should be ready for a change because Jesus was the greatest changer in history.

I wanted to show that Martin Luther King was simply a human being, not a god, not a saint.

You may be assured that we won't ever let your words die. Like the words of our Master, Jesus Christ, they will live in our minds and our hearts and in the souls of black men and white men, brown men and yellow men as long as time shall last.

I don't know what the future may hold, but I know who holds the future.
