“A change is brought about because ordinary people do extraordinary things.”
Barack Obama (1961) 44th President of the United States of America
“What an extraordinary achievement. What a vindication of the belief that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. What a reminder of what Bobby Kennedy once said about how small actions can be like pebbles being thrown into a still lake, and ripples of hope cascade outwards and change the world.”
2015, Supreme Court Decision on Marriage Equality (June 2015)
