Every day, and in every way, the commercial life of the city is a tribute to the value people can offer each other regardless of race, which is to say, very simply, that people get along just fine so long as the politicians and the state stay out of it. We have a long history of racial division precisely because we haven’t always chosen the path of peace and commerce. We have chosen that path today, not perfectly but largely, and the beautiful results are all around us.
