The task of building a better America – the best possible America – is one that requires the participation of every person. We should not wait for presidents or legislators to lead the way, Rather, each of us must nurture ourselves and one another so that we can work individually and together to fulfill the American dream of a “more perfect union.”
Transformation in a democratic society does not begin with a strong, charismatic leader. Rather, it begins with the fierce determination of the people to transform their reality.
— Rev. Dr. Vincent Harding, America Will Be!
