August 20, 1967: Sargent Shriver said Unity is ‘built by all Americans’


August 20, 1967: Sargent Shriver said Unity is ‘built by all Americans’

In a recent tweet – on June 22, 2015, Maria Shriver @mariashriver, noted that her father, (Westminster, Carroll County, Md. native son) Sargent Shriver, said “My father said Unity is ‘built by all Americans.’ Sadly, words still relevant @RSargentShriver: http://eepurl.com/bq43Ir

On August 20, 1967, Mr. Shriver said: “"We have a statue of liberty on the east coast given to us by a foreign community. But we need a statue of unity built by all Americans, for all Americans -- in every American community. Today, our nation is not united. This country is in trouble because too many Americans prefer not to know each other. Not to care about each other. […] Our country cannot go on like this."


According to the website, “Sargent Shriver did not shy away from speaking about racism throughout his career. This address at the black Shriner convention in August of 1967, given in the middle of a long, tumultuous summer of rioting throughout the country, demonstrates his frankness and his concern on the topic of racial inequality…”

He said this in an “Address to the Negro Shriners Convention, CLEVELAND, OH. 

He also said: “It is keeping America divided into ghettos--not the city slums, but ghettos of the mind where we seal off parts of democracy that don't suit us, where we box off our obligations to justice and shut out our commitments to fairness. These ghettos of the mind are more damaging to America than the ghettos of the city…”

Indeed, Sargent Shriver did not shy away from speaking about racism throughout his career. Read the entire speech here: http://sargentshriver.org/speech-article/address-to-the-negro-shriners-convention

David Grand’s column for Jan 15, 2009: I tend to quote others only to better express myself

David Grand’s column for Jan 15, 2009: I tend to quote others only to better express myself

As much as I appreciate David Grand’s quotations, I actually read his columns.

I read all the Eagle columnists. I may be biased, but we have the best columnists…

To sit and have a cup of coffee and read a David Grand column is a wonderful way to start my day.

But this column – full of quotations - is priceless. Thanks.

I tend to quote others only to better express myself

The Passing Parade By David Grand, Posted on
www.explorecarroll.com 1/14/09

I'm fully aware that many of my readers skip over what I've written in my columns and only take time to read the quotations at the end.

That's fine. I get paid the same regardless.

So to show my appreciation to those who at least read those quotations, I've decided to forego writing on a specific topic this week and share some of my favorites, drawn from the columns I've written over the last 16 years. I'd like to think you'll find them as humorous or thought provoking as I did.

Here are my top 21 gems in no particular order:

* "All modern men are descended from a worm-like creature, but it shows more on some people." – Will Cuppy

* "The more I see of the representatives of the people, the more I admire my dogs." – Anonymous

* "When money talks, the truth is silent." – Russian proverb

* "There are three kinds of men: the ones who learn by reading; those who learn by observation; and the rest of 'em who have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves." – Will Rogers

Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken

Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken

October 23, 2008
I’m not sure when Orson Scott Card said this; however the following quote ought to be an everyday mantra for anyone in the public spotlight.

It is certainly a thought that many in the blogosphere ought to take to heart…

It reminds me of the great admonition that I often repeated to myself when I was an elected official – although critics will suggest that I, all too often did not follow my own advice enough: “Never miss an opportunity to sit down and shut up.”
