 "Their inferiority is continued to the very confines of the other world; when the negro is defunct, his bones are cast aside, and the distinction of condition prevails even in the equality of death. The negro is free, but he can share neither the rights, nor the pleasures, nor the labor, nor the afflictions, nor the tomb of him whose equal he has been declared to be; and he cannot meet him upon fair terms in life or in death." —Alexis de Tocqueville, //Democracy in America. 1836.//



I, too, sing America.
 *  I, too **

I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong.

Tomorrow, I'll be at the table When company comes. Nobody'll dare Say to me, "Eat in the kitchen," Then.

Besides, They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed--

I, too, am America.

—Langston Hughes

"The legal barrier which separated the two races is tending to fall away, but not that which exists in manners of the country; slavery recedes, but the prejudice to which it has given birth remains stationary." —Alexis de Tocqueville, **Democracy in America.** 1836.

"In order to combat the evils which equality may produce, there is only one effectual remedy—namely, political freedom." —Alexis de Tocqueville, **Democracy in America**. 1836.



 Almost all the revolutions that have changed the aspect of nations have been made to consolidate or to destroy social inequality.  —Alexis de Tocqueville, **Democracy in America**. 1836.
