Random quote of the day:

“No matter how big a nation is, it is no stronger than its weakest people, and as long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you might otherwise.”

―Marian Anderson, quoted by the Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality

Random quote of the day:
