A Few Words From Julius Lester

"A minute is so important and so many pass me, unused. I compare my aspirations and my abilities and realize: I am one person among billions living one life, about 65 years out of a million which have preceded mine and will come after. Yet I do not despair. My 65 can help shape the million to come."---Julius Lester, from his autobiography, All is Well (William Morrow, 1976).
