“To be a Negro is to participate in a culture of poverty and fear that goes far deeper than any law for or against discrimination....

—Michael Harrington (1928–1989)
“We’re for statehood. We want statehood because statehood means the protection of our farms and our fences; and it means schools for our children; and it means progress for the future.”
—Willis Goldbeck (1900–1979)
