Last night we watched a documentary about the Freedom Riders. The courage they had is an inspiration. They stayed true to their cause in spite of the heinous trials and afflictions they faced.
This true story is a reminder that no matter how just our cause is there is no guarantee that we won't face opposition. In fact, if there is no opposition the cause is probably not big enough. As Albert Einstein said, "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."
It is important for those of us founding Esperanza to remember this...and not give up our commitment to the cause when opposition appears.
