"My dear friends, your vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have to create a more perfect union." and
"So I say to you: Don’t give up. Don’t give up on the things that have great meaning to you. Don’t get lost in a sea of despair. Stand up for what you believe in. Because…we are one people, one family, the human family. We all live in one house, the American house, the world house. We are Black. We are white. Hispanic, Asian American, Native American. We are one people."
It's a challenge. John Lewis's "good trouble" has helped.
Thank you Russell - and more of John Lewis:

And thank you for this thrilling, moving background, the life-blood flowing through our Constitution, it's still beating heart.
You just can't go wrong with John Lewis
Love John Lewis. Haven’t picked up his book for a little while. Thanks for the quotes and reminder. 🙏
