"He hath disgrac'd me and hind'red me..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Thy words, I grant are bigger, for I wear not, my dagger in my mouth.”

“To beguile the time, look like the time. Bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue.”

“Thanks, sir; all the rest is mute.”

“Prejudice will fall in a combat with interest.”

“Ignorance and prejudice are the ballast of our ship of state - however, ships without ballast are not seaworthy and cannot sail in the tempests, nor reach a safe harbor.”

“Do we call this the land of the free? What is it to be free from King George the Fourth and continue the slaves of prejudice? What is it to be born free and equal, and not to live? What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom?”

“Anti-Semitism is real in this country.”

“In the 1940s, traveling for an African was a complicated process. All Africans over the age of sixteen were compelled to carry 'Native passes' issued by the Native Affairs Department and were required to show that pass to any white policeman, civil servant, or employer. Failure to do so could mean arrest, trial, a jail sentence or fine.”

“I actually believe that some residue of discrimination would lessen, because it's my view that there is a certain percentage of the white population that stereotypes and makes assumptions about African Americans because they don't inject the history of slavery and Jim Crow into current incarceration rates, or crime rates, or poverty rates, or what have you.”
