“Of all dangers to a nation, as things exist in our day, there can be no greater one than having certain portions of the people set off from the rest by a line drawn—they not privileged as others, but degraded, humiliated, made of no account.”—American poet-essayist Walt Whitman (1819–1892), Democratic Vistas (1871)
