As we go through life how often have you looked in the mirror and asked have I made any contribution to improving the quality of life for my brothers or sisters? The majority of us fail to understand you don’t need a prominent position to make a contribution, just doing your best at whatever your position in life is—setting a positive example can be a contribution.
I thank God that I have been blessed in life to have been provided with several opportunities to help my people and I did my absolute best. I thank God for the strength and opportunity to serve with the NAACP during the troubled times of the 1960s. I thank God for opening my mind to understand the importance of politics and the integrity to attempt to make it inclusive.
I will close the column with a true statement: God is good.
Happy Thanksgiving and remember to make a financial contribution to the Kingsley Association.
