~Pierre Berton
"Education in this country is about how to maintain the status quo and to perpetuate racism." ~Jane Elliot

~Bell Hooks
"My generation's apathy. I'm disgusted with it. I'm disgusted with my own apathy too, for being spineless and not always standing up against racism, sexism and all those other -isms the counterculture has been whinning about for years."
~Kurt Cobain
"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word."
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
