“Segregation of white and colored
children in public schools has a
detrimental effect upon the colored
children. The impact is greater when it
has the sanction of the law, for the
policy of separating the races is usually
interpreted as denoting the inferiority of
the Negro group...Any language in
contrary to this finding is rejected. We
conclude that in the field of public
education the doctrine of ‘separate but
equal’ has no place. Separate
educational facilities are inherently
unequal. “—Earl Warren, Chief Justice
of the U.S. Supreme Court

have the power to loot any nation of the
natural resources, but we don’t. Instead,
America sends her young men and women
to war to defend the weak. She sends her
resources to help feed the poor. And she
offers a hand to any nation
that seeks friendship and
peace.
The national symbol of
America, The Statue of
Liberty, welcomes your
tired and your poor, the
wretched refuse of your
teeming shores, the
homeless,
tempest
tossed. American are not a
particular people from a particular place.
They are the embodiment of the human spirit
of freedom. America has come a long way.
An American is Christian, or he could be
Jewish or Buddhist, or Muslim. An American
is free to worship as he chooses. An
American is also free to believe in no religion.
For that, he will answer only to God, not to
the government or to armed thugs claiming
to speak for the government and for God.
America has had periods of dark history, but
as Americans pressed for justice and
righteousness our land become the most
prosperous land in the history of the world.
The root of that prosperity can be found in the
Declaration
of
Independence,
which
recognizes the God given right of each
person to the pursuit of happiness.
An American is generous.
Americans have helped out just
about every other nation in the
world in their time of need,
never asking things in
return. The United States
has the power to

conquer any nation, but
•Generosity
it does not. We have the

power to enslave any

people, but we don’t. We
