No American is free to choose his own life, to earn his own living, to be educated, to marry, to raise a family, to enjoy the fruits of his labor, to vote as he chooses, to worship as he pleases, to speak as he thinks, to write as he feels, to go where he wills, to be secure in his person and his property, to have his day in court, to be protected by the laws of his land, if he is denied the full and equal right to vote.
