"The greater the strength of the nation, the greater its responsibility to the global community. . . . Unless the United States decides to become a fortress beseiged by large and growing armies of the poor, it should actively foster social change in Latin America."
--Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias Sanchez, former president of Costa Rica, in an address in Lorimer Chapel titled "Latin America: New Challenges for the 21st Century."
"Slavery is not just about chains around our hands and feet. If we cannot stand
to have a black boss or a woman boss we are still enslaved."
--Samuel Pieh, descendant of Amistad freedom fighter Singbeh Pieh, at a Spotlight lecture.
