Equality Act

Famous quotes containing the words equality and/or act:

“I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgement, will probably for ever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality; and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I ... am in favour of the race to which I belong having the superior position.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“People start parades—politicians just get out in front and act like they’re leading.”
—Dana Gillman Rinehart (b. 1946)
