"Education remains the key to both economic and political empowerment." ― Barbara Jordan Topic(s): Education More From Barbara Jordan "What the people want is very simple – they want an America as good as its promise." "We call ourselves public servants but I’ll tell you this: we as public servants must set an example for the rest of the nation. It is hypocritical for the public official to admonish and exhort the people to uphold the common good." "A government is invigorated when each of us is willing to participate in shaping the future of this nation."

I don’t know myself at all yet."― Kristen Stewart "Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today."― Malcolm X
