I often say that as secretary of labor, I came to Washington to work for God, FDR, and my country. Now maybe I can rest easy in the knowledge that a new generation has taken up the cause. So I hope it shall always be. For we are only day laborers in the vineyard of the Lord, to lay our course of bricks in shoring up the republic. I did my part. The American experiment goes on, and our democracy isn’t done. In fact, the battle for democracy is never done. And ours is worth fighting for.
