Thurgood Marshall:
I thought it was president Eisenhower's duty to stand up, to tell the country that Brown is the law of the land! And use his executive power to enforce the decision. But do you know what Ike said when they asked him about it? He said he didn't have an opinion one way or the other. If I could fought World War II the way he fought the civil rights, we'd all be speaking German today
