Another quote from the 1950s

To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone...

We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger,
We the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend,
