Look up, lift up, and lend a helping hand [for] we cannot rise higher than our weakest brother.

Tonight as I write and think of Tulsa … my eyes well with tears and my soul cries for justice. Oh, America! Thou Land of the Free and Home of the Brave! The country that gave its choicest blood and bravest hearts to make the world safe for democracy! How long will you let mob violence reign supreme? Is democracy a mockery?
