Western civilization, Christianity, decency are struggling for their very lives. In this worldwide civil war, race prejudice is our most dangerous enemy, for it is a disease at the very root of our democratic life.

Christianity is the very root and foundation of Western civilization.

Overall, it seems that we have to accept that Western civilization will decline. It is, essentially, inevitable.

Racial hatred in America still exists but never was it anything like the time immediately after the Civil War. The western history of our nation would not be complete without the story of former slaves that helped develop the unique character of the West.

Has it struck you that the music which is regarded as the most sublime in western civilization, which is the music of Bach, is called baroque?

In a democratic age, you can't buck demography - except through civil war.
