"People are practical. They want change but feel powerless, alone, do not want to be the blade of grass that sticks up

above the others and is cut down. They wait for a sign from someone else

who will make the first move, or the second. And at certain times in history, there are intrepid people

who take the risk that if they make that first move

others will follow quickly enough to prevent their being cut down. And if we understand this, we might make that first move. "

Howard ZinnHistorian, playwright, and social activist
