those of us who are committed to the moral and spiritual forces will hold on. See, I come from a people, brother, who’ve been on intimate relations with catastrophe, calamity, monstrosity—244 years of the most barbaric slavery of modern times, and then another hundred years of neo-slavery, of Jim and Jane Crow, lynching black folk every two and a half days for 50 years. How do we generate some courage to love, courage to hope, courage to resist, courage to remember, courage to have a reference for something bigger than our egos? Moral and spiritual cultivation. How do you cultivate? By example, not by textbook. No, not by words on paper.
✏️ Values matter.. values in action and example, not in talk and words.
