“It is only through examining history that you become aware of where you
stand within the continuum of change. You may find you are the ‘voice
crying in the wilderness’ who will have to walk alone. Or you may find
only a few devotees who will join you throughout the whole period of
your activism. This does not mean your work is not important. It means
the part you must play is simply different than those leaders who stand
at the front lines of a mass movement. Every contribution is important
to the work of change…”
~ John Lewis, Civil Rights Leader
