Statement
The American-Arab
Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) is a civil rights organization
committed to defending the rights of people of Arab descent and
promoting their rich cultural heritage.
ADC is a non-sectarian and
non-partisan grassroots organization and welcomes people of all
backgrounds, faiths, and ethnicities as members.
ADC-ATL supports these
objectives by promoting civil rights and political advocacy; providing
legal services to Arab Americans in the area of immigration, raising
awareness of Arab-American interests and issues in the mainstream
media, educating the general American population on Arab-American
culture and issues, and building a strong and visible Arab American
community in the Atlanta Metropolitan area.
***
They come first for the
communists,
and I didn't speak up because
I wasn't a Communist.
Then, they came fro the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because
I wasn't a Jew.
Then, they came for the trade
unionists,
and I didn't speak up because
I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then, they came for the
Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because
I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was
left to speak up.
Pastor Martin Niemoller (1892-1984)
