Then they came for me— and there was no one left to speak out for me.
James Baldwin
The actual quote is: "Some of us white and black know how great a price has already been paid to bring into existence a new consciousness, a new people, an unprecedented nation. If we know, and do nothing, we are worse than the murderers hired in our name. If we know, then we must fight for your life as though it were our own - which it is - and render impassible with our bodies the corridor to the gas chamber. For, if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night" - James Baldwin from "An Open Letter to my Sister, Angela Y Davis)
