"We can't ignore problems in our society and hope that they'll fix themselves in time. We can't pretend that we are all subject to the same luxuries and abuses of our society. Many of us take for granted concepts like self-respect, education, and ignorance. Our purpose is in our name. People need to become AWARE."

Genuine integration will come when men are obedient to the
unenforceable. ... (These) unenforceable obligations are beyond the reach
of the laws of society. They concern inner attitudes, expressions of
compassion which lawbooks cannot regulate and jails cannot rectify. Such
obligations are met by one's commitment to an inner law, a law written
on the heart. Man made laws assure justice, but a higher law produces
love.
