I believe in the brotherhood of man, not merely the brotherhood of white men but the brotherhood of all men before the law...In giving the Negro the rights which are theirs we are only acting in accord with our ideals of a true democracy.-Speech, June 15, 1940, at Sedalia, Mo., in campaign for re-election to the United States Senate, as quoted in "Harry S. Truman."
