More From Charles Rangel
- "Full participation in government and society has been a basic right of the country symbolizing the full citizenship and equal protection of all."
- "The Klan had used fear, intimidation and murder to brutally oppress over African-Americans who sought justice and equality and it sought to respond to the young workers of the civil rights movement in Mississippi in the same way."
- "I, for one, would think both about how far we have come as a country and how much further we need to go to erase racism and discrimination from our society."
