“And time brings down what is both strong and tall.
But plants new set to be eradicate,
And buds new blown, to have so short a date,
Is by his hand alone that guides nature and fate.”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)

—George Washington (1732–1799)
“... white people, like black ones, are victims of a racist society. They are products of their time and place.”
