"When I, the People, learn to remember, when I, the People, use the

lessons of yesterday and no longer forget who robbed me last year,

who played me for a fool--then there will be no speaker in all the

world say the name: "The People," with any fleck of a sneer in his

voice or any far-off smile of derision.

The mob--the crowd--the mass--will arrive then."

--Carl Sandburg, "I am the People, the Mob"
