Boycotts Quotes

“This morning Reverend [Martin Luther] King invited me to attend a meeting of the protest committee. The committee decided not to hold any more mass meetings but only prayer meetings. This was to emphasize the moral nature of the struggle. The meetings will center around five prayers:

A prayer for the success of the meeting.

A prayer for strength of spirit to carry on nonviolently.

A prayer for strength of body to walk for freedom.

A prayer for those who oppose us.

A prayer that all men may become brothers to live in justice and equality.”
― Bayard Rustin, Down the Line: The Collected Writings of Bayard Rustin

“We’ve carried our picket signs in demonstrations, preached hellfire and brimstone on the corner of every major city in America, and boycotted major corporations in the name of God. We’ve ignored the simple truth of honor that literally transformed entire kingdoms in the days of Daniel and Joseph. Because Daniel and Joseph demonstrated honor to the pagan kings they served, both Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar eventually acknowledged the hand of God on their lives.”
