Quotation

The more I got into it, the more contemporary it revealed itself to be. The battles that were being fought in 1964, we still fight today. === At a time now when racial relationships seem fraught again, to remember a time like this, where a black leader could work with a white Southern leader and produce this extraordinary act, it’s a positive moment. === It is good to remind ourselves, with all of the problems we have today, and we have many challenges ahead of us, but how far we have come in 50 years from where we were in 1964. And in the lowest of my low moments today, I think, “Well…” And maybe 50 years from now, we’ll look back and think, “Well., we’re so much further than that. Thank God.”
