“If your success is defined as being well adjusted to injustice and well adapted to indifference, then we don’t want successful leaders. We want great leaders who love the people enough and respect the people enough to be unbought, unbound, unafraid, and unintimidated to tell the truth.” – Dr. Cornel West
How do we sum up our last heart and black history month newsletter? There’s no better way than talking about the condition of the heart and how it pertains to social injustice. Dr. West’s quote makes it clear that our society isn’t interested in successful leaders. They want leaders who will turn a blind eye to the injustices in our communities.
