„Segregovaný školský systém vytvára deti, ktoré keď odmaturujú, skončia so zmrzačenou mysľou.“
Originál
A segregated school system produces children who, when they graduate, graduate with crippled minds.
The Ballot or the Bullet (1964), Speech in Cleveland, Ohio (April 3, 1964)
Kontext: A segregated school system produces children who, when they graduate, graduate with crippled minds. But this does not mean that a school is segregated because it’s all black. A segregated school means a school that is controlled by people who have no real interest in it whatsoever. Let me explain what I mean. A segregated district or community is a community in which people live, but outsiders control the politics and the economy of that community. They never refer to the white section as a segregated community. It’s the all-Negro section that’s a segregated community. Why? The white man controls his own school, his own bank, his own economy, his own politics, his own everything, his own community; but he also controls yours. When you’re under someone else’s control, you’re segregated.
