• Han pasado cien años de retraso desde que el Presidente Lincoln liberó a los esclavos, y sin embargo sus herederos, sus nietos, no son plenamente libres. Aún no se han liberado de los lazos de la injusticia. Aún no se han liberado de la opresión social y económica. Y esta nación, a pesar de todas sus esperanzas y todos sus alardes, no será plenamente libre hasta que todos sus ciudadanos lo sean.

• There's one reason why [Presidents' Day] is a holiday. It had nothing to do with our country deciding that we wanted to show reverence for our presidents, Lincoln, Washington, or all of them. Nothing to do with that. The ski industry wanted a three-day weekend.
