Quote context

[...]

- Are you afraid to listen to an agitator?

- Listen, my old man's a member of the Ku Klux Klan. He's got some power in this town, and you...

- I can see why you're afraid. He must be a very frightened and brutal man.

- He treats me all right! He's just hard on the colored and the men folks.

- There's no man who practices brutality towards other men who will ever practice equality with women!

- We don't want no equality with Negroes. That's all there is to it.

- My man says the Klan's the only thing's that's protectin' us white women from Negro men. He says that!

- Women! Since when have we needed cowards in bed sheets and masks and shotguns to safeguard our persons and our homes?

- The only protecting women need is protection by equality under the law. Equality of opportunities and the right to share the benefits of this land, alongside men.

- Equality to choose their associates without fear of intimidation from bigots and the hissing of cowards.

You're the one who can make the trumpet talk... and tell the truth.
