"Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people [blacks] are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them."

-Thomas Jefferson

He was wise and his position was correct. The 60' Supreme Court was SO WRONG
