I can't serve just the Negro cause. I've got to serve all the people of Massachusetts.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want to serve the people.
I am not an enemy of the Negro. We want him here among us; he is the only laboring class we have.
I will not say I would not serve if the good people were imprudent enough to elect me.
You want to shut up every Negro who has the courage to stand up and fight for the rights of his people, for the rights of workers, and I have been on many a picket line for the steelworkers too.
There are many ways to serve.
I just want to serve people. I know it sounds like a simple cliche.
I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ask for the ballot for the Negro and not for the woman.
As a black woman, my politics and political affiliation are bound up with and flow from participation in my people's struggle for liberation, and with the fight of oppressed people all over the world against American imperialism.
I appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve the people of our state.
I want everybody to understand that I am an American Negro first before I am a member of any political party.
