“Cities force growth and make men talkative and entertaining, but they make them artificial. What possesses interest for us is the natural of each, his constitutional excellence.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“You factor in racism as a reality and you keep moving.”
—Jewell Jackson McCabe (b. 1945)
