“American heroes such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Thomas Sowell, Justice Clarence Thomas,....”.
Oh yeah, they won’t like that. Great dig, Mr. President.
All Republicans. :-)
“Let me offer you my definition of social justice:
I keep what I earn and you keep what you earn.
Do you disagree?
Well then tell me how much of what I earn belongs to you - and why?”
~ Walter Williams

Thomas Sowell Quotes
It was Thomas Edison who brought us electricity, not the Sierra Club. It was the Wright brothers who got us off the ground, not the Federal Aviation Administration. It was Henry Ford who ended the isolation of millions of Americans by making the automobile affordable, not Ralph Nader.
Those who have helped the poor the most have not been those who have gone around loudly expressing “compassion” for the poor, but those who found ways to make industry more productive and distribution more efficient, so that the poor of today can afford things that the affluent of yesterday could only dream about.

There is a certain class of race problem-solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.
Booker T. Washington
Great list!
Nicely done Mr. President.
