Shirley Chisholm: Words of Wisdom
"We Americans have a chance to become someday a nation in which all racial stocks and classes can exist in their own selfhoods, but meet on a basis of respect and equality and live together, socially, economically, and politically."

"Service is the rent that you pay for room on this earth."
