I didn’t know who Alice Walker was. Perhaps you don’t either.
She is known for her work as a novelist, penning masterpieces like “The Color Purple.” This book became a revered film and was a part of a movement that once again showcased our need to be educated on history that impacts our world still today.
I love her thought in the photo above because I feel that it is true today, despite the fact it shouldn’t be.
Today we can use our voice and, in a matter of moments, reach thousands. How powerful is that? Our voice can be used for good or for the more controversial. Our voice can be used to raise awareness as an instrument of peace, or to galvanize our communities to achieve better, together.
The bottom line is that we have the power.
We have the opportunity to achieve the purpose God has set for us.
We have tools available to us to join the conversation, educate, raise the flag and spread the love.
We have the power to make an impact in our lifetime.
I believe one important impact area is knowing; knowing the history of our country. This knowledge will create a greater understanding that can and will change us and the generations to follow.
I hope you’ll join in!
