Thurgood Marshall

It was taken for granted that we had to make something of ourselves. Not much was said about it; it was just in the atmosphere of the home.

We deal here with the right of all of our children, whatever their race, to an equal start in life and to an equal opportunity to reach their full potential as citizens. Those children who have been denied that right in the past deserve better than to see fences thrown up to deny them that right in the future.
