"Though the colored man is no longer subject to barter and sale, he is surrounded by an adverse settlement which fetters all his movements. In his downward course he meets with no resistance, but his course upward is resented and resisted at every step of his progress.
If he comes in ignorance, rags and wretchedness he conforms to the popular belief of his character, and in that character he is welcome; but if he shall come as a gentleman, a scholar and a statesman, he is hailed as a contradiction to the national faith concerning his race, and his coming is resented as impudence." [Frederick Douglass, September 25 1883]
HE STILL STANDS TALL!
And he still stands tall…God's grace and peace upon this man is my prayer, and I pray that before the end of his Presidency, people's heart, mind and eyes will open.
There will never be another like him!
May he lead and be guided in the way God would want him to lead and guide. He is not perfect and has never claimed to be. He and this whole country are in need of our prayers. It only takes a spark.
No President has ever worked this hard for our country. Many wonder, does he ever sleep?
