The Individual

It is the individual , not the preacher,

who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the individual , not the reporter,

who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the individual , not the poet,

who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the individual , not the organizer,

who has given us freedom to assemble.

It is the individual, not the lawyer,

who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the individual , not the politician,

Who has given us the right to vote.
