He leaves us with these words
from an op-ed in the New York Times
published the day of his funeral
July 30, 2020

"Ordinary people
with extraordinary vision
can redeem the soul of America
by getting in
what I call good trouble,
necessary trouble.
Voting and participating
in the democratic process
are key.
The vote
is the most powerful
nonviolent change agent
you have
in a democratic society."
