The worst disease under which the society of our nation suffers is...the treatment of the Negro. Racism is the scorn of the principle of the Fathers who founded the United States that
all men are created equal...it must be pointed out time and again that the exclusion of a large part of the colored population from active civil rights by the common practices is a slap in the face of the Constitution of the nation.
We must strive (to ensure) that minorities be protected against economic and political discrimination as well as against attack by libelous writings and against the poisoning of youth in the schools.
1946 as quoted in Einstein on Race and Racism by Fred Jerome and Rodger Taylor
