Myles Horton
“Now I've been criticized for advocating that people push their boundaries because sometimes people get caught. Sometimes people get fired. Sometimes people lose their jobs because of pushing the boundaries too far, but it's an interesting experience. They found they didn't want to stay within those limitations that they were pushing. Once people find they can survive outside the limits, they're much happier. They don't want to feel trapped. So I think we can urge people to push the boundaries as far as they can, and if they get in trouble, fine; that's not too bad if that's what they want to do.”
Myles Horton, We Make the Road by Walking: Conversations on Education and Social Change

“To understand the importance of free speech is to recognize its role as a catalyst for social change. It empowers individuals to expose injustice, challenge systemic inequities, and rally collective action. The history of progress is intertwined with the stories of those who dared to speak out, pushing against the boundaries of the accepted narrative. Free speech is not a privilege; it is the heartbeat of a society that aspires to equity, justice, and the continual pursuit of a more enlightened future.”
James William Steven Parker
