"For more than two centuries our foreparents labored……" — Martin Luther King, Jr.
"For more than two centuries our foreparents labored here without wages; they made cotton king; and they built the homes of their masters in the midst of brutal injustice and shameful humiliation - and yet out of a bottomless vitality our people continue to thrive and develop."
