Today's Historical Quote from Our Flag
... on the anniversary of P.B.S. Pinchback being sworn-in, in 1872, as the 24th Governor of Louisiana ...

"I am groping about through this American forest of prejudice and proscription,
determined to find some form of civilization where all men will be accepted for what they are worth.”

- P.B.S. Pinchback, the first African-American to be a Governor
