“True patriotism springs from a belief in the dignity of the individual, freedom and equality not only for Americans but for all people on earth, universal brotherhood and good will, and a constant striving toward the principles and ideals on which this country was founded.” - Eleanor Roosevelt’s Book of Common Sense Etiquette, 1962

As we enter the new year, we do so at a moment that calls for both hope and responsibility.

Progress is never automatic, but together we can move it forward.
