For Memorial Day (United States), May 31, 2010:
.....Our flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is rainbow—red, yellow, brown, black and white—we’re all precious in God’s sight. America is not like a blanket—one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt—many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread.
..........— Jesse Jackson (1941- ), American minister, political leader. Address to the Democratic National Convention (1984).
