Not to know what happened before one was born is to always remain a child.
--Cicero
I am not ashamed of my grandparents for having been slaves. I am only ashamed for having at one time been ashamed.
--Ralph Ellison
Awful as race prejudice, lawlessness and ignorance are, we can fight time if we frankly face them and dare name them and tell the truth; but if we continually dodge and cloud the issue, and say the half truth because the whole stings and shames; if we do this, we invite catastrophe. Let us then in all charity but unflinching firmness set our faces against all statesmanship that looks in such directions.
--W.E.B. DuBois
