Some say that talk is cheap;
I say that talk is one of the most precious means we have to tap the roots of our democracy while expanding the minds that define its substance. In this spirit, I offer these words as a witness to hope-to the belief that wise words are better than wicked ways.I believe that disagreement in speech and working out our differences in word and in the world are better than hate or war. In the end, talking really is better than killing.
Michael Eric Dyson
in the Preface of "Debating Race"
