More From Hal Holbrook

As for slavery, there is no need for me to speak of its bad aspects. the only thing requiring explanation is the good side of slavery. i do not mean indirect slavery, the slavery of proletariat; i mean direct slavery, the slavery of the blacks in surinam, in brazil, in the southern regions of north america. direct slavery is as much the pivot upon which our present-day industrialism turns as are machinery, credit, etc. … slavery is therefore an economic category of paramount importance.
Mean America Southern
I maintain that i have been a negro three times--a negro baby, a negro girl and a negro woman. still, if you have received no clear cut impression of what the negro in america is like, then you are in the same place with me. there is no the negro here. our lives are so diversified, internal attitudes so varied, appearances and capabilities so different, that there is no possible classification so catholic that it will cover us all, except my people! my people!

New york is the thing that seduced me. new york is the thing that formed me. new york is the thing that deformed me. new york is the thing that perverted me. new york is the thing that converted me. and new york is the thing that i love too.

The interesting scope of mark twain's development as a human being is that he grew. he saw, he travelled, he studied this country and later the world with the eye of a man educating himself. this is a central fact in the mark twain legacy. he became an american spokesman for the ideals of racial equality and dignity for the working man because he was willing to look the world in its face and see, really see what was happening to the people in it.

Faced with today's problems and disappointments , many people will try to escape from their responsibility. escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. i propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape.
Disappointment Attitude Responsibility
Secularists are wrong when they ask believers to leave their religion at the door before entering into the public square. frederick douglass, abraham lincoln, williams jennings bryan, dorothy day, martin luther king - indeed, the majority of great reformers in american history - were not only motivated by faith, but repeatedly used religious language to argue for their cause. to say that men and women should not inject their "personal morality" into public policy debates is a practical absurdity.

Only atheists have morals, the religious have reward and punishment. that's not morality, that's sucking up.
Religious Atheist Punishment
We know of no spectacle more ridiculous—or more contemptible—than that of the religious reactionaries who dare to re-write the history of our republic. or who try to do so. is it possible that, in their vanity and stupidity, they suppose that they can erase the name of thomas jefferson and replace it with the name of some faith-based mediocrity whose name is already obscure? if so, we cheerfully resolve to mock them, and to give them the lie in their teeth.
