1. "When you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers smothering in an air-tight cage of poverty in the midst of affluent society..."

2. "...so I am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid"

3. "We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness"
