Quote #1
“In the darkness with a
great bundle of grief
the people march
In the night, and overhead
a shovel of stars for keeps,
the people march:
‘Where to? What next?’”
-Carl Sandberg, The People, Yes
Quote #2
• “I am satisfied the present Chinese labor invasion (it is
not in any proper sense immigration—women and
children do not come) is pernicious and should be
discouraged. Our experience in dealing with the
weaker races—the negroes and Indians, for example—
is not encouraging. We shall oppress the Chinamen,
and their presence will make hoodlums and vagabonds
of their oppressors. I therefore would consider with
favor suitable measures to discourage the Chinese
from coming to our shores. But I suspect that this bill is
inconsistent with our treaty obligations…If it violates
the National faith, I must decline to sign it.”
– Rutherford B. Hayes

government of free opinion, no longer a government by
conviction and vote of the majority, but a government
by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant
men." -- President Woodrow Wilson
