• Sound, sound the trump of Fame!
  Let Washington's great name
  Ring through the world with loud applause;
  Let every clime to Freedom dear
  Listen with a joyful ear.

  Of horrid war, or guides with ease,
  The happier times of honest peace.

• Change depends on people knowing the truth. Change depends on people speaking that truth out loud. That's what movements do. Movements educate people to the truth. They pass along information and ideas that many others do not know, and they cause them to ask questions, to challenge their own long-held beliefs. ... Movements are the way ordinary people get more freedom and justice. Movements are how we keep a check on power and those who abuse it.
