O God of earth and altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die; The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, But take away our pride. – G. K. Chesterton
Wherever you go in the history of America, there have been Black people making contributions, but their contributions have been obscured, lost, buried. – Henry Louis Gates
