“Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West, From North and South, come the pilgrim and guest, When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his board The old broken links of affection restored, When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more, And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before. What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye? What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie?” MenEyeCarePastMotherGirlRichBrokenWestSouthRoundsLipsAffectionEastBoardsLinksGrayGuestsWornPiePilgrimPumpkinThanksgiving DayNorth And SouthPumpkin Pie Author:John Greenleaf Whittier

“We were land-based agrarian people from Africa. We were uprooted from Africa, and we spent 200 years developing our culture as black Americans. And then we left the South. We uprooted ourselves and attempted to transplant this culture to the pavements of the industrialized North. And it was a transplant that did not take. I think if we had stayed in the South, we would have been a stronger people. And because the connection between the South of the 20's, 30's and 40's has been broken, it's very difficult to understand who we are.” PeopleIfsThinkingYearsHas BeensCultureLeftDifficultBlackLandBrokenConnectionsStrongerSouthDevelopingWho We ArePavementTransplants Author:August Wilson

“You don't want the United States to become South America, where you have a super collection of rich people at the tippy-top of society, they are surrounded by barbed wire living in McMansions with security guards, and the rest of the society is suffering, and you've got a broken educational system and a broken government.” PeopleWantStatesGovernmentAmericaSufferingUnitedUnited StatesRichSecurityBrokenSouthEducationalCollectionsWireRich PeopleEducational SystemSouth AmericaBarbed WireSecurity Guards Author:Anthony Scaramucci
“..if the Northern states refuse, willfully and deliberately, to carry into effect that part of the Constitution which respects the restoration of fugitive slaves, and Congress provide no remedy, the South would no longer be bound to observe the compact.
