"Lè nou mande Nwar yo respekte lalwa moyiz la, se pou nou deklare tou ke blan moun pa respekte lwa yo nan geto yo. Jou nan ak jou soti, li vyole asistans sosyal lwa pou anpeche pòv yo mèg alokasyon pou kou pou yo; li flagrant vyole kòd bilding ak règleman yo; l ' lapolis fè yon imitation nan lwa a; li vyole lwa yo sou egal nan travay ak edikasyon ak dispozisyon ki nan sivil la sèvis yo. Bidonvil yo se ouvrages a nan yon visye sistèm nan sosyete blan; Nwar ap viv nan yo, men yo pa fè yo, nenpòt ki plis pase yon prizonye fè yon prizon yo."

“When we ask Negroes to abide by the law, let us also declare that the white man does not abide by law in the ghettos. Day in and day out, he violates welfare laws to deprive the poor of their meagre allotments; he flagrantly violates building codes and regulations; his police make a mockery of law; he violates laws on equal employment and education and the provisions of civil services. The slums are the handiwork of a vicious system of the white society; Negroes live in them, but they do not make them, any more than a prisoner makes a prison.”
