This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy and visible differences have been the
primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labour in which this system
still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned. We are
really talking about humanism.

I am where I am because of the bridges that I crossed. Sojourner Truth was a bridge. Harriet Tubman was a bridge. Ida B.
Wells was a bridge. Madame C. J. Walker was a bridge. Fannie Lou Hamer was a bridge.

I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as
Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American
dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream
of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not
argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and
resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country
where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality.

If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too. If you spend all your money on yourselves
and tithe no portion of it for charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won't either. And
if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the
courage to snuff out.

Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the
herd.

In order to get beyond racism, we must first take account of race. There is no other way. And in order to treat some persons
equally, we must treat them differently.
