Top rated lines from this movie

But I am certain that I, and other Americans of many races and faiths, have too much invested in our country's welfare to throw it away or to let it be taken from us.

I'm not fooled because I've had a chance open to very few Negro Americans, but I do know that democracy works for those who are willing to fight for it, and I'm sure it's worth defending.

All right, men. I respect your right to petition. But I do question and I will fight any petition that denies any American the right to earn his living in the game that is supposed to represent the democratic principles of sportsmanship and fair play!
