- (not assigned): Printed text reads: But there is only one thing that has power completely, and that is love. Because when a man loves he seeks no power, and therefore he has power. I see only one hope for our country, and that is when white men and black men, desiring neither power nor money, but desiring only the good of their country, come together to work for it. Alan Paton / "I love my children and I love my wife," my husband had once said quietly, "And I would die, and die gladly, if that would make a better life for them." Mrs. Medgar Evers
