If I Had Lived Back Then

Just as people say that we don’t realize that we are living in the “good old days” until they have passed, so too we tend not to recognize the significance of a presidency, a protest march, a speech, or a stand, until later.

History is being made every moment. The big question is whether we will be proud or ashamed when later generations tell the story, and whether you or I will do anything worth singling out and remembering.

But if we don’t, then we will be remembered – collectively if not individually – for our inaction, for what we failed to do.
