FAITH

I have faith in you.

It is a proven fact that we, the people, of whatever color or design are amazing. We have stood up to the crowned royals of the world and said "enough". We have stood up to slave holders, to factories that stole our children, to a government that denied women the vote, denied people of color equal access; we have moved the world, we small humans.

If there is one gift I should give you, it would be the key to your dignity. If I could show you how strong each of us truly is, how full of the answers-I would certainly be giving you the greatest gift of all. I cannot give you your dignity-but I can tell you it's there, waiting for you.

Our voices amount to very little individually...or so it seems. But when we come together, when our courage to stand up brings us together, we small mortals topple empires, destroy the chains of oppression and truly create the path to righteousness ourselves-

that is true power.
