"Our
expanding ethnic diversity of this century, a time
when we will all be minorities, offers us an invitation
to create a larger memory of who we are as Americans
and to re-affirm our founding principle of equality.
Let's put aside fears of the "disuniting of America"
and warnings of the "clash of civilizations." As Langston
Hughes sang, "Let America be America, where equality
is in the air we breathe."
-- Ronald
Takaki

One of the things about equality is not just that
you be treated equally to a man, but that you treat
yourself equally to the way you treat a man.
--
Marlo
Thomas
In
the 1960s we were fighting to be recognized as equals
in the marketplace, in marriage, in education and
on the playing field. It was a very exciting, rebellious
time.

“We
women have presented an alternative proposal to society
and to humanity. It is about the construction of a
world where tolerance is a life style; Where daily
social and political divergences and its resolutions
would be seen as part of humanity; Where equality
would be possible in all its dimensions; Where knowledge
and access to education and other social possessions
would not be the privilege of a few; A world where
violence in all its forms would be past history, where
fear will not overwhelm us and where we shall be able
to enjoy the goodness of existence.”
~ Rafaela

"You cannot have peace without human rights, democracy,
gender equality, and clean water. Look to the root
causes of war and you will find, in their reverse,
the root foundations of peace."

"A
federation of all humanity, together with a sufficient
measure of social justice, to ensure health, education,
and a rough equality of opportunity to most of the children
born into the world, would mean such a release and increase
of human energy as to open a new phase in human history."
-- H.
G. Wells |

Of
equality - As if it harm'd me, giving others the same
chances and rights as myself - As if it were not indispensable
to my own rights that others possess the same.

Whitman

An
enormous discrepancy exists between the way we talk
about equality in the abstract and the value as translated
into laws and justice.”

"You
cannot be friends upon any other terms than upon the
terms of equality."
-- Woodrow
Wilson
There
can be no equality or opportunity if men and women and
children be not shielded in their lives from the consequences
of great industrial and social processes which they
cannot alter, control, or singly cope with.
-- Woodrow
Wilson |

The
uses of government should be to foster, protect and
promote the possession of equality.
