"Jim Crow may be dead, but racism is alive and well. That’s a central fact of life for every nonwhite American, including the president of the United States. It eclipses income, position, education—race trumps them all. So we have work to do, none of it easy, but we never wished our way to freedom. Instead we’ve always worked our way."
Julian Bond, civil rights leader, “Crossing the Color Line,” keynote address at Kent State’s 13th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration, January 22, 2014
