Timber Has Fallen: To Mourn but to Move Ahead

Yes, it's been awhile since my last post. But I could not let this day pass without noting the passing of a great woman, Dr. Dorothy I. Height, who grew to unthinkable heights in her 98 years of purposeful life.
Last week, Dr. Benjamin Hooks passed; this week, Dr. Height. Timber has fallen. Where is the reforestation? Who steps into these might shoes? While we mourn the passing of these tall trees, we must get busy and move ahead. President Barack Obama notwithstanding, we still have miles to go to The Promised Land before we sleep.
