Helen Keller
Image
If the blind put their hands in God's, they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose.

The continued lynchings and other crimes against negroes, whether in New England or the South, and unspeakable political exponents of white supremacy, according to all recorded history, augur ill for America's future.
Helen Keller
