My wife and I both read and enjoyed the book, and had the great fortune to hear Wes Moore speak at the Northwest African-American Museum in Seattle at the end of January. The thing I liked best about Wes's speech was he didn't say that people had to be involved in a specific group or organization, but rather pick something we're passionate about and get involved there. There's so many opportunities for outreach, we can easily find something to support.

I'm a fan of the State of Oregon. I was born in Corvallis and many years later went to OSU as did my dad and grandmother. But I also lived in Eugene for a few years and had many friends that went to the U of O. For the longest time I've said "I'm a fan of both teams all season until the Civil War, then it's go Beavs." This year I will be rooting for the Ducks in the Civil War for the first time in my life. I would be more disappointed than happy if the Beavers won and ruined Oregon's chances of going to the National Championship...
