Further research does find the Coe version, indeed.

As far as crediting Heston, I think the original version does have some 
merit. It wasn't like the civil rights movement simple asked to be treated 
equally. They demanded it.

Shlomi's use was way off, I will agree.

Of course, this is all getting _way way way_ off-topic, and clearly my 
points assignment should be taken rather tongue-in-cheek.
