 ﻿ "I see that slavery is in retreat, but the prejudice from which it arose is immovable."(Tocqueville)

"There is a natural prejudice which prompts men to despise whomsoever has been their inferior long after he is become their equal..Slavery recedes, but the prejudice to which it has given birth remains stationary." -- Alexis De Tocqueville

I too, sing America

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

"To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships."- W.E.B. Dubois
