“
Teaching children to read is nothing, just a little drop of water in a huge desert of mean.” “That’ all most of us get—being a little drop of water. A few folks get to do somethin’ big like Mr. Lincoln an’ the Emancipation Proclamation. God givin’ you a chance to help a child know they own name. It a little somethin’, but it gonna matter to that one. We don’ get to pick how big our good gets to be, but each of us picks if we gonna do some good right where we are.
