Quotations
Segregation is evil; there is no pattern of life which can dehumanize men as can the way of segregation.
Acceptance speech for the Charles S. Johnson Award at Fisk University in 1966
We in America – and men across the earth – have trapped ourselves with that word equality, which is inapplicable to the genus man. I wish we would forget it. Stop its use in our country: Let the communists have it. It isn’t fit for men who fling thei...r dreams across the skies. It is fit only for a leveling down of mankind.
"Killers of the Dream" Lillian Smith
