  • The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.

    Corretta Scott King

  • Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.

    Marian Wright Edelman

  • It only takes one person to mobilize a community and inspire change. Even if you don't feel like you have it in you, it's in you. You have to believe in yourself. People will see your vision and passion and follow you.

    Teyonah Parris

  • Freedom is never given; it is won.

    A. Philip Randolph
