'We have come to say to the extremists, who ignore the common good and have chosen the low road, your actions have worked in reverse. You may have thought you were going to discourage us, but instead you have encouraged us. The more you push us back, the more we will fight to go forward. The more you try to oppress us, the more you will inspire us.'

Reverend William Barber II, president
of the North Carolina NAACP and the
leader of the Moral Monday movement,
in his keynote speech to Saturday's
massive “Moral March” in Raleigh that
drew tens of thousands of activists -
from all backgrounds, races and
causes - marching from Shaw
University to the State Capitol
