Ever heard the song 'We are the World'? What about 'The Greatest Love of All'? Or 'Hero', 'Firework', and 'Born This Way'?
These songs share a common message of unity, defiance, acceptance, uniqueness and love. Each of these musical creations was prepared with thought given to the message, and all seem to bare significant outreach to the youth of the world.
Outreach to our youth and making the world a better place for them to live in, has always been our nation's mantra. And after reading Robert F. Kennedy's 'Day of Affirmation' speech it becomes unequivocal yet again, that our children deserve for us to fight for their future.
See below excerpts from RFK's 'Day of Affirmation' speech.
- Our answer is the world's hope; it is to rely on youth.
- This world demands the qualities of youth: not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease -- a man like the Chancellor of this University.
- It is a revolutionary world that we all live in; and thus, as I have said in Latin America and Asia and in Europe and in my own country, the United States, it is the young people who must take the lead.
Timeless words from a powerfully conscious leader.
