"People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant."
"There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his."
"Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained."
~Helen Keller
I was looking for just one Keller quote that I saw on a mural in the Polk County Activities Center this weekend. I never could find it, but I did find a whole slew, which I posted on this and two other blogs! You knew that Keller overcame deafness and blindness to become an inspiring speaker and accomplished author- but did you know that she was an outspoken opponent of war, that she she campaigned for women's right to vote, workers' rights, racial tolerance and many other progressive causes?
