Striving Toward Greatness - By Donald V. Watkins -- I personally knew Dr. King, Rev. Abernathy, Rosa Parks, Roy Wilkins, Julian Bond, and many others in the struggle for freedom and equality for African-Americans. I respect and appreciate the sacrifices they made for millions of other blacks to participate fully in the fabric of American life as equal members of society. They were always striving toward greatness and they motivated me to demand the same in my life. -- Black public officials, as a whole, are no longer striving toward greatness. More and more, they have morphed into political hustlers who strive toward theatrics and who work hard at expanding a state of self-aggrandizement that leaves the black community adrift in a sea of hopelessness.
