“Don’t wait for the politicians. Just get out there and do it. I think the day will come when the elected officials will say, ‘There go my people. Let me catch up with them.’”
- Congressman John Lewis
Note. Congressman John Lewis from Georgia was speaking at the Clinton School for Public Service the evening I arrived in Little Rock. Thanks to thoughtful planning by members of Arkansas WAND, I was able to attend this event. Congressman Lewis talked about racial reconciliation, gains made since the days when he marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and distances yet to go. He made the above statement in response to a comment from the audience about the failure of leadership on the part of our elected officials and the need for a strong national figure, someone who will step up with the courage and wisdom necessary to guide our nation forward.
