We know that segregation is evil. We know that the sickest children should not go to the worst hospitals. No, I refuse to pretend the problem is insufficient knowledge. We lack the theological will to do it.

We're now segregating our schools based on economics; we're segregating our schools based on where a child's parents live. And it has the same corrosive effect of destroying people's opportunity as racial segregation did.

We are now operating a school system in America that's more segregated than at any time since the death of Martin Luther King.

Segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever!

Racial segregation has come back to public education with a vengeance.

America preaches integration and practices segregation.

I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.

An awful lot of people come to college with this strange idea that there's no longer segregation in America's schools, that our schools are basically equal; neither of these things is true.

We do not show the Negro how to overcome segregation, but we teach him how to accept it as final and just.

Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people.
