We must recognize the full
human equality of all our people - before God, before the
law, and in the councils of government. We must do this not
because it is economically advantageous - although it is; not
because the laws of God and man command it - although they do
command it; not because people in other lands wish it so. We
must do it for the single and fundamental reason that it is
the right thing to do.
-- Robert F. Kennedy
