Truman

by David McCullough

I believe in the brotherhood of man; not merely the brotherhood of white men, but the brotherhood of all men before the law. . . . If any class or race can be permanently set apart from, or pushed down below the rest in political and civil rights, so may any other class or race when it shall incur the displeasure of its more powerful associates, and we may say farewell to the principles on which we count our safety. . . .
