"Lord, in the memory of all the saints
who from their labors rest,
and in the joy of a new beginning,
we ask you to help us work for that day
when black will not be asked to get back,
when brown can stick around,
when yellow will be mellow,
when the red man can get ahead, man,
and when white will embrace what is right."

- Reverend Joseph Lowery
Benediction at Obama Inauguration
