* “I have walked that long
road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the
way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one
only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here
to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back
on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom
come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.”
