If I am elected, I will seek to end racial and religious segregation
in the schools, housing and employment. I am dedicated to the
principles set forth in the Constitution of the United States of
America and the state of California. I believe that every citizen
should be judged not on his color or the texture of his hair, not on
the manner in which he worships, nor on the basis of his place of
birth.


Willie Brown, campaign speech 1962


Guess what this man had to say in 1997 about racial preferences?

BTW, this is an excellent book about quite a remarkable man, whatever
you think of his politics. I didn't realize how much this guy
deserves to be mayor of San Francisco, whether or not the city
deserved him...
