"The civility of no race can be perfect whilst another race is degraded. " / - Emerson
We wait beneath the furnace-blast / The pangs of transformation; / Not painlessly doth God recast / And mould anew the nation. / Hot burns the fire / Where wrongs expire; / Nor spares the hand / That from the land / Uproots the ancient evil. / - J. G. Whittier
