Blame Quote by Jerome Kagan

“We don't want to blame the victim. The civil rights movement had a profound effect on the United States and on the American mind, maybe unique in the world. Once we realized how victimized people of color had been, an honest empathy went out and that's how we got civil rights legislation.” quote by Jerome Kagan — Download Open image
