*Don't Blame Me"I know that millions of [people] from all walks of life
agree with me that leadership does not mean putting an ear to the
ground, to follow public opinion, but to have the vision of what is
necessary and the courage to make it possible." *
*/---From Shirley Chisholm's campaign speech for the presidency in 1972/*

What is necessary for our communities?
What leadership are today's candidates showing?
