Democracy was never absolute. It was a dream. A vision on the horizon that we continuously strived for. As I see politicians and people put their personal and individual needs and wants at the forefront of the greater good of democracy, I am sad to conclude that democracy is no longer understood to be our common dream for the U.S. and the world.

Both entities have survived and overcome what appeared sometimes as insurmountable odds and yet they both survived and are thriving.

A similar phrase, Don’t Say Black, is gaining traction in Broward Schools. As the new superintendent builds her new organizational chart, new positions are coming into focus, yet Black representation at top positions is fading fast. […]
Whatever you put into an effort, that is what the results produce. This analogy could be applied to several situations of today.
