LEARNING FROM HISTORY:
"If we confuse dissent with disloyalty - if we deny
the right of the individual to be wrong, unpopular,
eccentric or unorthodox - if we deny the essence
of racial equality then hundreds of millions in Asia
and Africa who are shopping about for a new
allegiance will conclude that we are only
concerned with defending a myth and our present
privileged status. Every act that denies or limits
freedom of the individual in this country costs us
the ... confidence of men and women who aspire
to that freedom and independence of which we
speak and for which our ancestors fought."
-- Edward R. Murrow, 1953
