"Let the
word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been
pased to a new generation of Americans--born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined
by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage--and unwilling to witness or
permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this Nation has always been
committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world."
John F. Kennedy in his inaugural speech |
