WORDS WORTH REPEATING...

".. When you get to the open housing field, as a general statement there hasn't been a single neighborhood in America satisfactorily integrated up to the present time. So we're taking on one terrible task..." 
- Ivan Allen, Jr. - retiring mayor of Atlanta, Georgia, on his city's frustrating problems with housing segregation. 

"After a while you just get tired. They (white) don't want to come to your house, but when they decide we have to integrate, they want you to come to their house to see how white people live. But you get tired of always going to their side. "
-Scarlett McClain, a Kansas City, Mo., Southeast High grad on why she chose an all-black college.

"If 400 years of Christianity in mission countries could not produce priests who were worthy of being pastors and bishops, there was something questionable about methods of Christianizing that country."

- Father Harold R. Perry - auxiliary Bishop of New Orleans
