On another occasion, he noted: "I daresay I have denied Communism, fought against it, more than most people, because at my end of the political spectrum one must make it clear that standing for democratic socialism is quite another thing from standing for Communism."

James Foreman, then executive secretary of S.N.C.C., in August 1963: "There's going to be a considerable amount of violence if major changes are not made.
