In the words of one of my classmatesā¦āa great light has gone outā šš¾
As a kid in the 80sā¦to watch a Black man run for President twice, inspire people, and change the face of politicsā¦was life-changing for me! It was one of the many reasons I aspired at a young age to someday serve in public office. My dream was fulfilled a year ago when I was appointed to serve on the Atlanta Board of Education. šš¾ š¤Even more so, my dream was fulfilled when I had a chance to meet Rev. Jesse Jackson in 2018, when I was doing work at THE Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta! It was the honor of a lifetime to not only meet him, but to watch him inspire a whole new generation of studentsā¦wow, what a legacy and what a gift! šš¾
Hereās to running your life race well and to having fought the good fightā¦you walked and marched, so we could runā¦rest well Godās servant āš¾
