50th Anniversary Of March On Washington Offers Hope For New Leadership, Change [ORIGINAL]

We need to invest in this type of change by developing talent at the grassroots level. These programs must seek out individuals who may not have earned high credentials from big universities, but have earned degrees from the School of Hard Knocks, where they bestow degrees to those who have learned to navigate the muddy waters of street life, picking up valuable business lessons that translate into success.

People affected by the decisions have to be involved in formulating solutions–it’s a basic democratic principle.

Today’s March on Washington will feature Dream Defenders Executive Director Phillip Agnew. Agnew is young and has the passion of Dr. King. Adding him to today’s program is a step in the right direction, but we need more. We need the men and women on the street corners and those who debate politics daily to speak up, get involved and use their personal power to create change.
