Walter Francis White Quote
If we, as Americans, assure that no man is denied any right of citizenship because he is dark of skin or worships his God in a different place or was born elsewhere, then democracy can never be destroyed. But we also know that human freedom must be in the hearts of men and not solely on paper.
Speech at the NAACP annual convention, Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C. [June, 29, 1947]
