I am a product of Upward Bound and Trio/GC. Many working class and people of
color benefited from the environment and support being acclimated to the
University culture. This will gravely impact mobility for many persons that

students
who understand and appreciate their journey. Many important people have
dedicated their lives to helping first generation college students.

I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for
this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.
James Baldwin Notes of a Native Son
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Kahil Gibran
If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each
man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
But in modern war you will die like a dog for no good reason.
Ernest Hemingway
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they
arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Anais Nin
"Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary
spirit and go into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to
poverty, racism, and militarism."
Martin Luther King, Jr
The true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love.
Che Guevara
The man who has no imagination has no wings.
Muhammad Ali

Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love.
