(Sarah Grimke) Organize, agitate, educate! (Susan B. Anthony) We’ll have our rights; see if we don’t; and you can’t stop us from them; see if you can; You may hiss as much as you like, but it’s coming’ (Sojourner Truth) Organize, agitate, educate! We’ll win the vote; see if we don’t. It is the emblem of equality, the guarantee of liberty. (Carrie Chapman Catt) SPEAKER 2 (ANTHONY) “We ask justice, we ask equality, we ask that all civil and political rights that belong to citizens of the United States be guaranteed to us and our daughters forever.” SPEAKER B (Anna Julia Cooper) “We take our stand on the solidarity of humanity, the oneness of life, and the injustice of all special favoritism, whether of sex, race, country, or condition. If one link of the chain is broken, the chain is broken.” CHORUS Organize, agitate, educate! Roll up your sleeves, set your mind to making history, and wage such a fight for liberty that the whole world will respect our sex. To the wrongs that need resistance, To the right that needs assistance, To the future in the distance‚ give yourselves! (Carrie Chapman Catt) SPEAKER A (Mary Church Terrell) “The elective franchise is withheld from one half of its citizens... because the word 'people,' by an unparalleled exhibition of lexicon graphical acrobatics, has been turned and twisted to mean all who were shrewd and wise enough to have themselves born boys instead of girls, or who took the trouble to be born white instead of black.”  CHORUS Organize, agitate, educate! Roll up your sleeves, set your mind to making history, and wage such a fight for equality and the guarantee of liberty. We’ll have our rights! SPEAKER 4 (Lucy Stone) “Now all we need is to continue to speak the truth fearlessly, and we shall add to our number those who will turn the scale to the side of equal and full justice in all things.” SPEAKER 2 (SB Anthony) “Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights. and nothing less.” CHORUS Organize!
