An honest and humble assessment will always reveal that we need to do more to improve. We need to do a better job of passing the word so we can be better stewards of our society.

Gaps in our past – history or nostalgia?
We have to address the gaps. We have to reckon with the gaps. Nostalgia is largely not an accurate reflection of history and is filled with multiple gaps. Only by addressing the gaps can we aspire to be the country that we were created to be and the country that we profess to be now.
Gaps can kill
The gaps that we ignore in history only serve to perpetuate false nostalgia or continue a false narrative. When doing so, we continue to deny what defines our history.
Does racism still exist in America?
Let’s not push back by denying things but advance forward to the betterment of all. Let’s put others in front of ourselves. Let’s be heroes.
