Harry Truman actually said...

"These bodies together should keep all of us continuously aware of the condition of civil rights in the United States and keep us alert to opportunities to improve their protection."

"We believe that all men have the right to freedom of thought and of expression and the right to worship as they please."

"We shall not, however, finally achieve the ideals for which this Nation was founded so long as any American suffers discrimination as a result of his race, or religion, or color, or the land of origin..."

"The protection of civil rights is the duty of every government which derives its powers from the consent of the people."
