looking for leadership in Washingtong, D.C.

It was only four decades ago that we found ourselves in a similar place to today. We were embroiled in an unpopular war, plagued by disparities and inequalities here at home, and looking for leadership in Washington, D.C. Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called us to action with three simple words. As he put it then, there comes a time when “silence is betrayal”—not only a betrayal of one’s personal convictions, or even of one’s country alone, but also a betrayal of our deeper obligations to one another and to the brotherhood of man.
