“I cannot say to a person who suffers injustice, ‘Wait,’ Perhaps you can; I can’t. And having decided that I cannot urge caution, I must stand with him.”

Rest in peace to Casey Hayden, one of the few white Southerners in SNCC, a founding SDS member, and co-author w/ Mary King of the pioneering second-wave feminist text Sex and Caste.
