• We may have different religions, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race - Kofi Annan.
• The concept of race - particularly that one group of humans is superior over another based on skin color - is a myth that must be destroyed. We have been myth-led for 500 years in this country. It's time to recognize the myth, it's time to insist that educators recognize the myth, teach about the myth, but teach the truth, that there's only one race: It's the human race - Jane Elliott.
• There is no such thing as race. None. There is just a human race - scientifically, anthropologically -Toni Morrison.
• I hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one 'race' - the human race - and that we are all members of it -Margaret Atwood.
