Great read, Ray. And a great reminder that it has always been in our individual hands. History is always watching and also taking notes. How that comes out is up to us.
“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” - Elie Wiesel
Well said, Al. I met Wiesel once, when I was at the stock exchange. We had invited him to ring the opening bell as part of a series starting the new millennium. I got to meet him and his wife at the door and escort them upstairs. When I told him what an honor it was to meet him, he just smiled graciously and waved his hand, as if to say, "Oh, pshaw." He was as humble as he was great, and I hope he realized on some level how much good work he had inspired.
