"When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir." ~ MLK, "I Have a Dream" Speech, 1963

Smith helps us how history can be a light guiding us on the path toward a multiracial participatory democracy.
