*My final words of advice to you are educate, agitate and organize; have
faith in yourself. With justice on our side I do not see how we can lose
our battle. The battle to me is a matter of joy. The battle is in the
fullest sense spiritual. There is nothing material or social in it. For
ours is a battle not for wealth or for power. It is battle for freedom. It
is the battle of reclamation of human personality.
