7 Chapter 7 – PROPOSALS FOR CHANGE
“We have fought for the democratic principles of equality under the law, equality of opportunity, equality at the ballot box, for the guarantees of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We have fought to preserve one nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Yes, we have fought for America with all her imperfections, not so much for what she is, but for what we know she can be.”
~ Mary McLeod Bethune, educator and activist, November 23, 1939.
