“The civility of no race can be perfect whilst another race
is degraded. It is a doctrine alike of the oldest and of the newest philosophy,
that man is one, and that you cannot injure any member, without a sympathetic
injury to all the members.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
“As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men
every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it -
whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he
is, or how fine a family he comes from, he is trash.” ~ Harper Lee, To Kill A
Mockingbird
“Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong.” ~ Muhammad Ali
“Our true nationality is mankind.” ~ H.G. Wells
“Ignorance and prejudice are the handmaidens of propaganda.
Our mission, therefore, is to confront ignorance with knowledge, bigotry with
tolerance, and isolation with the outstretched hand of generosity. Racism can,
will, and must be defeated.” ~ Kofi Annan
“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
