“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.” Haile Selassie.

“The press is so powerful in its image-making role,

it can make a criminal look like he's the victim

and make the victim look like he's the criminal.”

—Malcolm X
