Quote context

[...]

- That's her! That's that woman who's goin' round stirring' up trouble.

- Women! Please listen to me I've got to talk to you.

- Listen, if you want to know something for your own good, girl, get back on that train and stay! Or they'll be thrown' you back on.

- We don't want no colored woman coming' down here telling' us what to vote fo'... that's all!

- Or the bigots among the men who have never given equal treatment to their Negro neighbors, nor to you, their wives and relatives!

- And who among you enjoys the freedom that all women need? Who associates with whom she likes?

- Who can bring up her children to be true fighters for freedom and humanity without telling them to hold back, for their neighbors, Jews or Negroes?
