Which America Do We Want?
One in which the sea of anger
is no longer rising?
Or one in which a tide of fear
and anger covers everything?
OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS OR SO, without ever really intending to, I’ve become a student of leadership and leaders. My analysis is a very practical one: Regardless of the merit of their ideas, why do some succeed and some fail. How does history and chance mold or strengthen or crush them?

“When white Americans frankly peel back the layers of our commingled pasts, we are all marked by it. Whether a company or an individual, we are marred either by our connections to the specific crimes and injuries of our fathers and their fathers. Or we are tainted by the failures of our fathers to fulfill our national credos when their courage was most needed. We are formed in molds twisted by the gifts we received at the expense of others. It is not our “fault.” But it is undeniably our inheritance.”

“Only by acknowledging the full extent of slavery's full grip on U.S. Society - its intimate connections to present day wealth and power, the depth of its injury to black Americans, the shocking nearness in time of its true end - can we reconcile the paradoxes of current American life.”

“In every aspect and among almost every demographic, how American society digested and processed the long, dark chapter between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the civil rights movement has been delusion.”
