Harry Truman actually said...

I am sure that Mrs. Bethune's retirement as president of this organization will not mean her retirement from public life.

We are going to continue to advance in our program of bringing equal rights and equal opportunities to all citizens.

We are too apt to forget how long it took, and how difficult it was, to get the States to unite in the United States as we know it now.

In that great cause there is no retreat and no retirement.
