"Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It’s just plain wrong."

Toward this end, each of us must work for his own highest development, accepting at the same time his share of responsibility in the general life of humanity—our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful."
