August 11: Ingersoll Day
.....The rights of all are equal: justice, poised and balanced in eternal calm, will shake from the golden scales in which are weighed the acts of men, the very dust of prejudice and caste: No race, no color, no previous condition, can change the rights of men.
..........— Robert G. Ingersoll (1833 – 1899), American social activist and orator. From his Centennial Oration delivered on the Fourth of July, 1876.
