This humanity we would claim for ourselves is the legacy, not only of the Enlightenment, but of the thousands and thousands of European peasants and poor townspeople who came here bringing their humanity and their sufferings with them.

But carries no cry of what is hoped to be.

But the strong are saying nothing until they see.”
