At the end Fr. Paul Washington spoke of himself and said, "I am nobody's slave, I am not afraid, but so many of you are afraid. You are afraid to love, you are afraid of freedom, you are afraid to be beautiful...What man is proud of what you have just done?...After speaking of self-determination, you made an effort to put me in chains...I must pity you. It was as if you tried to squeeze me a little bit too hard and I just slipped through your hands...I'm asking nothing for me, I am appealing to you now for yourselves...You have a chance for greatness...Yes you will go home and be crucified, but in doing so you can follow in the footsteps of our Lord."
