complex problem which affects the life of every American and
threatens the survival of this nation? How can we abolish the
racial ghettos?
Let us realize that children learn their prejudices.
They are not born with them. They learn the ways of racial
inequalities from their parents, from their attitudes and words
and behavior patterns. And they learn from the experience
of racial inequality, from the television, radio, press,
church, school, playgrounds, employment, and government.
Can we re-educate our children? Can we re-educate
ourselves? Americans tend to believe in education as the cure-all
for all ills. We must realize that the relations of the races
and the roots of racism in the American culture are deep.
Because of these daily experiences of segregation it is
unrealistic to depend on appeals to the conscience and good will of
the nation alone; because of the daily experience of segregation, it
is unrealistic to think that education or racial equality and inter-
group and inter-cultural programs can solve the problem.
If the Negro and the white Americans have to wait until
their neighbors are educated out of their prejudices, they
will be trapped in the ghettos of America for generations to come.
If our people have to wait until everybody loves his
neighbor, we may have to wait many a moon, or liberation will never
come. Most Negroes are not asking white people to love them or like
