Community Quote by B.J. Widick

““The challenge is to form a coalition of equals- an integrated coalition. Otherwise the current growth of separatism may turn out to be not just a detour on the road to an integrated society, but another move in the direction of the total polarization which has proved so dangerous in Detroit and elsewhere. A society torn by hatred and racial strife cannot be reformed through the tepid measures so often prescribed in the past.””
