Moses and Joshua
Barrack Obama’s speech in Selma drove to the heart of lessons learned from the civil rights movement. Lessons taught by the Moses generation of great leaders from those troubled days taught to today’s Joshua generation. Moses taught Joshua to seize life, work hard, learn, achieve. Stop making excuses and saying you can’t do things, he said, do it, change the world by changing yourself first.
Obama delivered a message of hope and practicality. He said making money is a fine ambition, but not for its own sake. Success is also measured by how you help others, make the world a better place.
It was a strong speech. Inspiring. He called on the Joshua generation to lead us into the future.
Next up, Hillary speaks to a neighboring church in Selma.
To be continued.
