"...We must be the guardians of the accuracy and integrity of the process by which we record and preserve the records of our past. We must never let the political intrigues and passions of the moment subvert that purpose. And we must never be afraid to protect the records of those events in our past of which we may not necessarily be proud. History must reflect our bad times as well as our good ones. "
William Winter, from a speech to the Alabama Department of Archives and History, Montgomery, AL, March 14, 2002.
