Lincoln had a tremendous capacity for personal growth - more than any other American President.

Fortunately, in President Obama, the child of an African and an American, we finally have a leader who is uniquely positioned to bridge the great reparations divide.

The more I have studied Lincoln, the more I have followed his thought processes, the more I am convinced that he understood leadership better than any other American president.

For my own personal growth I had to set out on my own.

And it makes you think. Even things that have been the same for years and years can change. Maybe I can change. I can bring my own wall down, and let people in.

I want to grow. I want to be better. You Grow. We all grow. We're made to grow.You either evolve or you disappear.
