Do the Right Thing: A Short Walk from Congress
Last month I led a group of high school youth on a trip to Washington D.C. and New York City. It is something we call “International Affairs Seminar.” It is a study trip during spring break. Over 8 days the group walked 32 miles around D.C. and New York as well as spent 27 hrs in seminar classes over 3 days of the trip. It can be life changing and world-view altering. As I wandered the Memorials I had to manage my blood pressure and frustration with our current Congressional leaders and SCOTUS. Just a short walk down the National Mall is the inspiration to do the right thing for all Americans, and all nations for that matter, enshrined on many of our Memorials that hail the mythology of what the experiment we call America is all about.
