Constance Baker Motley Quote

Read the preamble to the Constitution: it is simply unjust to ask the black community to bear all of the consequences of the transition from slavery and a segregated society to a nonsegregated society on the theory that the present-day white majority has lithe connection to its slaveholding and segregated past and that the sins of its fathers should not be visited upon it today.
