note:
Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
I
have
often
said
that
equality
among
people
in
the
United
States
will
not
occur
until
there
is
equality
in
the
education
of
all
of
our
children.
I
am
deeply
grateful
to
the
many
people
—
and
the
state
is
filled
with
them,
as
is
the
audience
—
who
have
sponsored
and
promoted
this
project
and
brought
it
to
life.
I
know
enough
Spanish
to
speak
it
with
family
and
friends,
to
write
simple
messages
and
to
read
and
enjoy
its
beauty,
but
I
wish
I
had
been
formally
educated.
The
children
who
will
attend
this
school
will
be
privileged
to
learn
and
be
proficient
in
two
languages
and
two
cultural
experiences.
That
is
an
incredibly
valuable
gift.
—
Justice
Sonia
Sotomayor,
in
prepared
remarks
given
at
the
Justice
Sonia
Sotomayor
Community
School,
a
public
school
in
Yonkers,
New
York,
that
will
support
students
in
grades
Pre-K
to
8.
Students
attending
the
Sotomayor
School
will
learn
in
both
English
and
Spanish
on
alternating
days.
