There's so much in American history that has been hidden and shunned.

Black history is American history.

American history contains much matter for pride and congratulation, and much matter for regret and humiliation.

I don't want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.

Ted Kennedy will go down in history as one of the giants of the U.S. Senate and one the most accomplished legislators in American history.

It's not painful to relive it. I'm comfortable with my position in American history.
