“America is free to choose whether the Negro shall remain her liability or become her opportunity.”
Gunnar Myrdal, An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy

“Cultural influences have set up the assumptions about the mind, the body, and the universe with which we begin; pose the questions we ask; influence the facts we seek; determine the interpretation we give these facts; and direct our reaction to these interpretations and conclusions.”
Gunnar Myrdal, An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy Vol. 1

“America feels itself to be humanity in miniature. When in this crucial time the international leadership passes to America, the great reason for hope is that this country has a national experience of uniting racial and cultural diversities and a national theory, if not a consistent practice, of freedom and equality for all. What America is constantly reaching for is democracy at home and abroad. The main trend in its history is the gradual realization of the American Creed.

In this sense the Negro problem is not only America's greatest failure but also America's incomparably great opportunity for the future.”
Gunnar Myrdal, An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy
