They behave that way, because "WE" have failed to teach them. They don't know Malcolm or Martin. They've only heard of them. They don't know Huey or Ida. They don't know Angela. DuBois. Booker. Trotter. Fortune. Cornish. Soujourner or Zora or Assata. Nat or Toussaint. Thurgood or Ralph They don't know.................etc.

A powerful quote...leaders see things as they are, and where things can be.

“Adversity is like a strong wind. I don't mean just that it holds us back from places we might otherwise go. It also tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterward we see ourselves as we really are, and not merely as we might like to be.” ― Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha

“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.” – Randy Pausch

"Neglect enough todays, and you'll experience the someday you've wanted to avoid." - John C Maxell.

It's easy to remain in a place of familiarity. To do what makes one comfortable. To hold on. However, the only constant in the universe is change. And the lack of will to embrace doing what's uncomfortable can manifest in such tragic ways.

It's often a walk of faith. It often starts with just you. You may be by yourself in your belief. A willingness to step into the pain today, now, for the long term gain. This made to my quote of the month list. Worth reading every single day.
