Quote by Thurgood Marshall

[Heinz, Ulrich]

The following powerful poem by Langston Hughes<https://poets.org/poet/langston-hughes> strikes a similar tone:

Honestly, it brought tears to my face.

Time to change our ways.

   Dear all,

    I came across a quote by Thurgood Marshall in the paper today that resonated with me, so I thought I would share.

   “I wish I could say that racism and prejudice were only distant memories.  We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust. … We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.”  - Thurgood Marshall (1908-1993)

   Words to both ponder and act on.

   Brian
