"It was a beautiful feeling, when we were so full of hate and anger and everybody was so full of unrest, that we saw people actually join together, get out of their cars and dance to a song... The Motown sound was a very big influence in the civil rights movement. It was not that we marched or paraded; we just promoted it through love".
— Martha Reeves (of Martha and the Vandellas)
