The Manifesto of Civil Rights:
• All of us, black or white, must have equal rights,
because this is the only way to have a society of
prosperity and access to opportunities.
• To achieve this, we must love each other and respect
each other’s opinion, whether we agree or not.

in the law of every state and be implemented on a
national level.
