"One of the lessons the civil rights movement taught us is that we can desegregate the lunch counter, and we can desegregate the bus station and the airport and the courtrooms, but until we desegregate the kitchen table and until we desegregate the living room sofa, until we desegregate those places where loving is done and where friends are made and where we express those things that really matter, we will not have achieved the dream of bringing the human family together."
