... to those who will learn, this further lesson:

that until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned;

that until there are no longer first class and second class citizens of any nation;

that until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes;

that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race;

that until that day,

the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality

will remain but a fleeting illusion,

to be pursued

but never attained.
