Portrait of William Bradford Huie

“The dream which built America was the dream of a land where every man could believe what he wanted to believe and advocate what he wanted to advocate, and still be safe from the anger of those who disagreed.”

William Bradford Huie, from a speech by the character Peter Garth Lafavor in Mud on the Stars
