th t we young people could
change the world through our ac­
tio • We faced dversity and
cballenges with t1)c certainty
they could be overcome. We built
a civil righ movement on an ua-
hakable faith in the bllity of
progress. AOO believed be­
cause our elders told it w so.
& we face the dawning of the
21sty century, I am saddened by
how far we a nation have
trayed from leading and nurtur­
ing our young people. For our
children and youth are like
flowers, budding aoo waiting to
bloom, but they need our us­
tenanee.
Millions of our children and
youth are too preoccupied with
survival to think about changing
the world. And many of the young
people who do want to work for
change cannot find � guidance
and help they need from the adults
in their lives.

people are marter, tronger' and
more sophisticated than any pre­
vious generation.
They have the potential to tum
the world around. But they cannot
do it without the roadmap of his­
tory and the compass of ex:
perience. Most importantly, they
need the nurturing that comes
from adults setting good examples
and zeminding them at every tum
that they not only can, but must
believe in theI1l$Clves and their
ability to right the wrongs in their
lives.
When I was student at Spel­
man College in the 1960's, Ella
Baker, the mother of the Civil
Rights Movement, arranged for
me to attend the first meeting of
the Student Nonviolent Coor­
dinating Committee (SNCC), an
interracial activist group,-at Shaw
University, a Black college, in
Raleigh, North Carolina, While I
had always been involved in ser­
vice and social action, thi
s�ngthened my desire to work
for change. .
Ella Baker knew, and
demonstrated, the need for one
generation to reach out to the next.
Many of today's African­
American leaders see the need,
and are committed to bridging this
gap.
My dream is to train 1,(0) new
Black leaders by the year 200>, at
least half of them under age 30.
I'm sharing this dream with other
veterans of the 60's evil Rights
Movement, and they too are com­
mitted to helping it become a
reality.

AS WE PLAN and organize
we're inspired by a vision of an
intergenerational ladder of
African American leaders, each
rung connected to the next, each
generation fortified by the last.
There is a wealth of knowledge
for us to share and an abundance
of inspiration for us to provide. As
the Book of Proverbs says,
"Where there is no vision, the
people parish." Our young people
need to e a future in us and in
themselves. ..
