“I want the world to be different because I was here. However lofty or crazy or delusional that may sound, I want people's lives to be better because I was here.”

WILL SMITH

I believe we hold in our hands the power once again to shape not only our own but the nation's future -- a future that is based on developing an agenda that radically challenges limitations in our economic

development, educational achievement and political empowerment. Undoubtedly, African-Americans will have an integral role to play, although our path ahead will continue to be complex and difficult.

"In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to believe. In a world filled with hate, WE

MUST DARE TO HOPE.”MICHAEL JACKSON
