There are things the institutions must do-- for that, leaders of courage must rise within those institutions, and leaders of courage from outside those institutions must continue to demand change and confront their communities with unpleasant truths and realities to increase the momentum toward change and the support for the leaders within the institutions who will work for change.

There are also things individuals within the institutions can and must do-- and thus become the leaders that are needed.

It starts so simply, one-to-one, heart-to-heart, listening and learning from one another. Getting to know those who look different from ourselves. Getting to see the humanity behind the difference.

There are some who do, and more who will, this I know.

hopefully,
Bright
