Activism isn't beautiful and easy, or a bunch of people getting together and picketing; it's a lot more complicated and difficult than that.

I don't think you should do something just to prove to an audience that you can do it, that's way out of your wheelhouse.

Any time someone carries a picket sign in front of the White House, that is the First Amendment in action.

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.

I'm not white-picket-fence perfect.

Protesting is fundamentally submissive.

You should protest about the views of people you disagree with over major moral issues, and argue them down, but you should not try to silence them, however repugnant you find them. That is the bitter pill free speech requires us to swallow.
