Injustice Revolts my Heart
"I am
a man and nothing of what is human is foreign to me. I am a man;
injustice towards other men revolts my heart. I am a man; oppression fills my
nature with indignation. I am a man; cruelty against so many of my fellows
inspires nothing but horror in me. I am a man, and what I would want done to
give me freedom, honour, the sacred bonds of family, I want to do to restore
family, honour, freedom to the sons and daughters of this unfortunate race."
Charles Lavigerie
(Rome, 1888)
