PRESIDENT FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT———-

“We now have a comfortable dwelling and two acres of ground planted with potatoes, Indian corn, melon, etc. I have 2 hogs, 1 ewe and a lamb; cows in the spring were as high as 33 dollars, but no doubt I shall have one by fall. I am living in God's noble and free soil, neither am I slave to others...I have now been on American soil for two and a half years and I have not been compelled to pay for the privilege of living. Neither is my cap worn out from lifting it in the presence of gentlemen.”
PHILIP TAYLOR, COLONIAL FARMER———-

“Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where I choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself and I will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.”
CHIEF JOSEPH OF THE NEZ PERCE———-

“America is woven of many strands; I would recognize them and let it so remain. Our fate is to become one and yet many.”
RALPH ELLISON———-

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.—————

“In view of the Constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens. There is no caste here. Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The humblest is the peer of the most powerful.”
JOHN MARSHALL HARLAN
