I had the blessing of opportunity. You need the folks in the boardroom who have consciences and the people in the streets who can picket at the right time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I asked a couple of months ago if anyone would like to start picketing the gas stations.
We must open the doors of opportunity. But we must also equip our people to walk through those doors.
We now have an opportunity, though, to do something we didn't do in the industrial age, and that is to get a leg up on this, to bring the public in quickly, to have an informed debate.
You can't just lecture the poor that they shouldn't riot or go to extremes. You have to make the means of legal redress available.
I've certainly been very blessed with opportunity.
I ask for calm yet resolute voices to be heard in our communities. It is imperative that people of good will, those who believe in a just and fair criminal justice system, hear our voices.
I think people instinctively know that their job is to give service and that they are part of a community. It had a great impact on me when my father walked the picket lines and I walked with him during the civil rights movement.
We have the opportunity and the responsibility to lead our country to a better and brighter future, and I cannot wait to roll up my sleeves and get back to work.
Don't seek opportunity. Seek God and opportunity will seek you.
I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.
