"If people are informed they will do the right thing. It's when they are not informed that they become hostages to prejudice." -- Charlayne Hunter-Gault
Charlayne Hunter-Gault (born 27 February 1942) is an American journalist and foreign correspondent for National Public Radio, and the Public Broadcasting Service.
