We got a Golden Rule.” Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Now I’m the leader of this country. When I order men into battle I order the men without regard to color. They carry our flag into foxholes. The Negro can do that, the Mexican can do it, others can do it. We’ve got to do the same thing when we drive down the highway at places they eat. I’m going to have to ask you all to do this thing. I’m going to have to ask the Congress to say that we’ll all be treated without regard to our race. 
-President Lyndon Baines Johnson, 1963
I chose this quote because our country was made for everyone to be equal no matter what race, or skin color.

where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died, 
who gave that right to me."

In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. 
-FDR, first inauguration, 1933
