“None of us has gotten here on our own. We may have busted our butts, worked extremely hard, made lots of personal sacrifices, and brought some talent and ability to the table. I believe all that is true, but we didn’t do it alone. We’ve all had people who have been there either directly or indirectly and made a difference.” - Bruce Gordon, Former President, NAACP
