"Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now - always." -Albert Schweitzer
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." ~Margaret Mead
Without integration, desegregation can create “a society where men are physically desegregated, where elbows are together and hearts apart. It gives us social togetherness and spiritual apartness. It leaves us with a stagnant equality of sameness rather than a constructive equality of oneness.” Martin Luther King
