FREEDOMWAYS THIRD QUARTER 1966

DR. W.E.B. DU BOIS
Who noble ends by noble means obtains
Or failing smiles in exile or in chains
Like good Aurelius let him reign or bleed
Like Socrates that man is great indeed.
-Essay on Man

JOHN BROWN
The gallant man tho' slain in fight he be
Yet leaves his country safe, his children free.
-Pope

LENA HORNE
What charming graces, what celestial mien
She moves a goddess and she looks a queen.
-Homer

PAUL ROBESON
He who fain would teach the world
To him the world holds fee
For Socrates the hemlock cup
For Christ Gethsemane
-Don Marquis

NAT TURNER
What fruit his conduct and his courage yield
Great in the council, glorious in the field.
-The Iliad

A SUMMIT CONFERENCE
Their games were empires and their stakes were thrones
Their table Earth, their dice were human bones. 
-Dryden
