You may call me a Klansman if you will, but, potentially, every white man is a Klansman, as far as the Negro in competition with whites socially, economically and politically is concerned, and there is no use lying.

This hour we are stretching forth our hands with the desire to teach the world the true principles of mercy and justice.

Success is related to faith. Faith comes first.
