[LINDNER:] They're not rich and fancy people; just hard-working, honest people who don't really have much but those little homes
and a dream of the kind of community they want to raise their children in. . . . You've got to admit that a man, right or wrong, has the right to want to have the neighborhood he lives in a certain kind of way. . . . I want you to believe me when I tell you that race prejudice simply doesn't enter into it. It is a matter of the people of Clybourne Park believing, rightly or wrongly, as I say, that for the happiness of all concerned that our Negro families are happier when they live in their own communities. BENEATHA (with a grand and bitter gesture): This, friends, is the Welcoming Committee!
