Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who identify as "hyphenated Americans" (for example, Irish-American or Mexican-American) may face discrimination or disapproval from those in positions of power. The term "hyphenated American" refers to someone who identifies their heritage or ethnicity alongside their American identity. The quote implies that this choice to embrace and express multiple cultural identities may be viewed unfavorably by those who prioritize a singular, homogeneous notion of American identity, perpetuating a sense of otherness and exclusion for such individuals.

The humans live in time but our Enemy destines them to eternity. He therefore, I believe, wants them to attend chiefly to two things, to eternity itself, and to that point of time which they call the Present. For the Present is the point at which time touches eternity. Of the present moment, and of it only, humans have an experience analogous to the experience which our Enemy has of reality of whole; in it alone freedom and actuality are offered to them.

As it was 189 years ago, so today the cause of America is a revolutionary cause. And I am proud this morning to salute you as fellow revolutionaries. Neither you nor I are willing to accept the tyranny of poverty, nor the dictatorship of ignorance, nor the despotism of ill health, nor the oppression of bias and prejudice and bigotry. We want change. We want progress. We want it both abroad and at homeand we aim to get it.
