try these-
1.At the root of the American ***** problem is the necessity of the American white man to find a way of living with the ***** in order to be able to live with himself.
2.It's just like when you've got some coffee that's too black, which means it's too strong. What do you do? You integrate it with cream, you make it weak. But if you pour too much cream in it, you won't know you ever had coffee...It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep.
Malcolm X (1925 - 1965)
3.No race can prosper till it learns there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem. It is at the bottom of life we must begin, and not at the top. Nor should we permit our grievances to overshadow our opportunities.
Booker T. Washington (1856 - 1915)
4.Please stop using the word "*****"...We are the only human beings in the world with fifty-seven varieties of complexions who are classed together as a single racial unit. Therefore, we are really colored people, and that is the only name in the English language which accurately describes us.
Mary Church Terrell (1863 - 1954)
U.S. civil rights activist.

Try Margaret Mead. She has many good quotes about fighting the impossible, etc. Her most famous quote is: Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it wear crotchless underwear if it doesn't want to.
