Equality Act

Famous quotes containing the words equality and/or act:

“To be a Negro is to participate in a culture of poverty and fear that goes far deeper than any law for or against discrimination....

—Michael Harrington (1928–1989)

“The fact is that a man who wants to act virtuously in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous.”
