Message on the Observance of National Afro-American (Black)
History Month, February 1981, February 2, 1981

Senator Clark of Pennsylvania … defines liberalism as “meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government.” Well, I for one resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me–the free man and woman of this country–as “the masses.”
