Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men’s skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact. To the extent that the Proclamation of Emancipation is not fulfilled in fact, to that extent we shall have fallen short of assuring freedom to the free.

Lyndon B. Johnson (1908-1973) American politician, educator, US President (1963-69)
Speech, Memorial Day, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania (1963-05-30)
