 As an artist I come to sing, but as a citizen, I will always speak for peace, and no one can silence me in this.

 As an artist I come to sing, but as a citizen, I will always speak for peace, and no one can silence me in this.

 I feel closer to my country than ever. There is no longer a feeling of lonesome isolation. Instead--peace. I return without fearing prejudice that once bothered me . . . for I know that people practice cruel bigotry in their ignorance, not maliciously

 I've learned that my people are not the only ones oppressed.. . . I have sung my songs all over the world and everywhere found that some common bond makes the people of all lands take to Negro songs as their own.

 Yes, I heard my people singing!--in the glow of parlor coal-stove and on summer porches sweet with lilac air, from choir loft and Sunday morning pews--and my soul was filled with their harmonies.

 Freedom is a hard-bought thing and millions are in chains, but they strain toward the new day drawing near.

 In my music, my plays, my films, I want to carry always this central idea: to be African.

 The patter of their feet as they walk through Jim Crow barriers to attend school is the thunder of the marching men of Joshua, and the world rocks beneath their tread. [on the children of Little Rock]

 Through my singing and acting and speaking, I want to make freedom ring. Maybe I can touch people's hearts better than I can their minds, with the common struggle of the common man.
