Join the Welcome Table: A Year of Dialogue on Race

"... We were prisoners of a system that held us all down—that dictated what we felt free to say and whom we could associate with and how we lived our lives. We were all in bondage to an indefensible way of life that was at odds with the ideals that this country was founded on. "

William Winter, from a speech delivered at the 40th anniversary memorial to James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, Philadelphia, MS, June 20, 2004.
