Reflections 10/10/08

• The diversity of activists was essential to the succes of the Civil Rights movement
• From Rev. Green - everyone has an ego, but the important thing is to move past them to make progress
• Key to successful campaign: focus on message
• It takes more energy to hate than to be hated
• Bayard Rustin is the man!
• Remarkable to me that Rev Green is a man so full of optimism and positivity
• Great leaders of our time shouldn't be the only one's respected
• I'm overwhelmed by how far we've come since the Civil Rights movement, but have so far to go, even in the nation's capital
• Be your own voice and you will rally people
• How can we channel our emotional energy into something constructive?
• I wonder what the world would be like today if we hadn't lost so many brilliant people
• Rev. Green's tremendous respect for his parents and others aroumnd him in spite of differences
