Harry Truman actually said...

"One of the great things that the Civil Rights Committee did for the country was to get every American to think seriously about the principles that make our country great."

"So long as I am President of the United States, the door will not be closed to peace."

"I created the Civil Rights Committee because racial and religious intolerance began to appear after World War II."

"For my part, I intend to keep moving toward this goal with every ounce of strength and determination that I have."
