The quote for the day—This nation’s character has never been defined by the power we give the already strong – but by the strength we give the weak. —Joe Kennedy III

Today I came across this quote from Thurgood Marshall and think it still rings true today: “We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust. We must dissent from a nation that has buried its head in the sand, waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away. We must dissent from a government that has left its young without jobs, education or hope. We must dissent from the poverty of vision and the absence of moral leadership. We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.” ——Thurgood Marshall in his Liberty Medal Acceptance Speech on July 4, 1992. He was Associated Justice of the Supreme Court from 1967 to 1991.
