QUOTE

"I believe in the power of everyday people to solve our most complex social problems. Talk is not cheap when done right. Human beings need time and space for 'real' talk and deep listening. I believe that a new discourse, personal reflection, and dialogue across difference will soon be the most powerful and preferred strategies to achieve social and educational equity. " |
