How to use héritage in a sentence?

1. Thomas Saunders III:

   While the organization has seen many successes, Jim DeMint and a handful of his closest advisers failed to resolve these problems, heritage has never been about one individual, but rather the power of conservative ideas. Heritage is bigger than any one person.

2. Irina Bokova:

   We see today that heritage and culture comes sometimes into the forefront of conflict, the deliberate destruction, what we are seeing today in Iraq and Syria, has reached unprecedented levels in contemporary history.

3. Marianne Taylor:

   From the heritage perspective, we're taught in best practice that the context of a building is crucial to its history as well. That's why relocating houses is only ever supposed to be a last resort when you're trying to protect a building.

4. Chuck Collins:

   This can only be explained through an understanding of the multigenerational legacy of white supremacy in asset building, people say,' slavery was so long ago' or' my family didn't own slaves.' But the key thing to understand is that the unpaid labor of millions -- and the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow laws, discrimination in mortgage lending and a race-based system of mass incarceration -- created uncompensated wealth for individuals and white society as a whole. Immigrants with European heritage directly and indirectly benefited from this system of white supremacy. The past is very much in the present.

5. Donald Trump:

   The bond between our nations was forever sealed in that great crusade, as we honor our shared victory and heritage, we affirm the common values that will unite us long into the future; freedom, sovereignty, self-determination, the rule of law and reference for the rights given to us by almighty God.
