“Intellectual Freedom is the right of every individual to both seek and receive information from all points of view without restriction. It provides for free access to all expressions of ideas through which any and all sides of a question, cause or movement may be explored. Intellectual freedom encompasses the freedom to hold, receive and disseminate ideas.”—Intellectual Freedom and Censorship Q & A
"Even the smallest, most heroic of acts adds to the store of kindling that may be ignited by some surprising circumstance into tumultuous change. . . . What the [civil rights] movement proved is that even if people lack the customary attributes of power—money, political authority, physical force—as the the black people of the Deep South, there is a power that can be created out of pent-up indignation, courage, and the inspiration of a common cause, and that if enough people put their minds and bodies into that cause, they can win. It is a phenomenon recorded again and again in the history of popular movements against injustice all over the world."—Howard Zinn, as recorded by Paul Rogat Loeb in his Soul of a Citizen: Living with Conviction in a Cynical Time.
