To Die For The People
Contexto: Men were not created in order to obey laws. Laws are created to obey men. They are established by men and should serve men. The laws and rules which officials inflict upon poor people prevent them from functioning harmoniously in society. There is no disagreements about this function of law in any circle-the disagreement arises from the question of which men laws are to serve. Such lawmakers ignore the fact that it is the duty of the poor and unrepresented to construct rules and laws that serve their interest better. Rewriting unjust laws is a basic human right and fundamental obligation.

Contexto: The blood, sweat, tears, and suffering of Black people are the foundations of the wealth and power of the United States of America.

But the end result will be the perpetual peace for all mankind.
