Richard M. Nixon
“If you want to make beautiful music,you must play the black note and the white notes together”
Richard M. Nixon

“The newspaper reporter summed up the rhetoric “on segregation all candidates agree, they support it….all five candidates tried to prove they were more racist than their opponents, a sprint to the bottom. All promising to take any measure to stop the most dangerous and immediate threat to the Mississippi way of life-which apparently was a black child who wanted to learn math. All of Hannibal’s elephants and Genghis Khan’s hordes lacked the world-destroying power of a bunch of first graders learning the alphabet and how to stay in line during the walk from recess to lunch”.”
Wright Thompson, The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi
