before me fighting for women and civil rights.

Hoping for a leader to come to front and help us enact change. Looking for a leader like MLK or Bobby Kennedy--someone that can bring out the passion and encourage sacrifice.

Wondering if there is someone that can rise above the noise of the talking heads. Someone that can make us forget about self and worry about each other. Someone who can make us understand that we are more alike than we are different. And to borrow a phrase from Hillary---someone that can make us understand that we really are stronger together.
