Assertive Quote by Martin Luther King, Jr
“When the Negro was completely an underdog, he needed white spokesmen. Liberals played their parts in this period exceedingly well… But now that the Negro has rejected his role as an underdog, he has become more assertive in his search for identity and group solidarity; he wants to speak for himself.”
![“People are taking it for granted that [the Negro] ought not to work with his head. And it is so easy for these people among whom we are living to believe this; it flatters and satisfies their self-complacency.” quote by Paul Laurence Dunbar](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2b6/paul-laurence-dunbar-18887_believe_people-are-taking-it-for-granted-that-th_1424628.jpg)
