“Not the intense moment
Isolated, with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment.”
T.S. Eliot (1888–1965) 20th century English author

Context: Every one of us is equal. Every one of us has worth. Every one of us matters. And when we respect the freedom of others -- no matter the color of their skin, or how they pray or who they are or who they love -- we are all more free.

Just imagine what the world could look like -- the future that we could bequeath these young people.
