   • 1996, Ann DuCille, Skin Trade

     Perhaps somewhere over the rainbow there is a land where equality and justice are colorblind, where no one is the other, where no one by virtue of race, gender, or sexual orientation is an outcast or an anomaly.

   • 1939, Judy Garland, Over the Rainbow

     Somewhere over the rainbow

     Way up high,

     There's a land that I heard of

     Once in a lullaby
