Words that could apply as easily today as they did in 1936.
"Something had to be done. A national choice had to be made. We could do one of two things. Some people who sat across my desk in those days urged me to let Nature take its course and to continue a policy of doing nothing. I rejected that advice because Nature was in an angry mood."

Why, for example, should the international socioeconomic system, or for that matter our own society, be in the hands of unaccountable private tyrannies? That’s a decision, it’s not a law of nature.

If this is going to be a christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend Jesus was just as selfish as we are or we've got to acknowledge that he commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy with out condition and then admit we just don't want to do it.

I said to my children, "I'm going to work and do everything that I can do to see that you get a good education. I don't ever want you to forget that there are millions if God's children who will not and cannot get a good education, and I don't want you feeling that you are better than they are. For you will never be what you ought to be until they are what they ought to be."
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child, that must the community want for all its children. Any other ideal for our schools is narrow and unlovely; acted upon, it destroys our democracy.
