Critical Responsibility For Next Generations
Gloria Dean Randle Scott is credited with saying, “The critical responsibility for the generation you’re in is to help provide the shoulders, the direction, and the support for those generations who come behind.”
Gloria has certainly lived that out in her life. Born 70 years ago in Texas, she was the first African American woman to graduate with a degree in zoology from Indiana University. She was the first African-American to head the Girl Scouts of the USA (1975-1978). She was the president of Bennett College, a Historically Black College for women, in Greensboro, North Carolina, from 1987-2001.

i agree that life is about being there to support each other in a community spirit so that the next generation can make positive differences in the world and in their own lives.
given the amount of trash and eco & human destruction our species havocs at present makes me think we don’t REALLY care about the kids~ we would have all this crap sorted by now.
