Additional Information

The quote featured here—said by John F. Kennedy while serving as a Massachusetts senator in response to being honored by the National Conference for Community and Justice for his commitment to anti-bias work—was never actually said by Dante. It is most likely a loose reinterpretation of Dante’s Inferno, from The Divine Comedy. Dante Alighieri was born in Florence, Italy in 1256 and wrote The Divine Comedy from 1307 to 1321; the work has since become one of the world’s most well-known pieces of poetry.
