Truman. Kassem. Du Bois.

Republicans approve of the American farmer, but, they are willing to help him go broke.

They stand four-square for the American home, but, not for housing.

They are strong for labor, but, they are stronger for restricting labor’s rights.

They favor minimum wage, but, the smaller the minimum wage the better.

They endorse educational opportunity for all, but, they won’t spend money for teachers or for schools.

They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine, but, only for people who can afford them.

They consider electrical power a great blessing, but, only when the private power companies get their rake-off.

They think American standard of living is a fine thing, but, so long as it doesn’t spread to all the people.

And they admire of Government of the United States so much, that they would like to buy it.

Harry S. Truman.

Choose a leader who will invest in…

Building bridges, not walls.
Books, not weapons.
Morality, not corruption.
Intellectualism and wisdom, not ignorance.
Stability, not fear and terror.
Peace, not chaos.
Love, not hate.
Convergence, not segregation.
Tolerance, not discrimination.
Fairness, not hypocrisy.
Substance, not superficiality.
Character, not immaturity.
Transparency, not secrecy.
Justice, not lawlessness.
Environmental improvement and preservation, not destruction.
Truth, not lies.

Suzy Kassem.

It is a peculiar sensation, this double consciousness,

this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others. …

One ever feels his twoness – an American, a Negro;

two souls,

two thoughts,

two unreconciled strivings;

two warring ideals in one dark body,

whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.

W.E.B. Du Bois, 1897.
