On May 14th I addressed the George Washington University School of Media and Public Affairs graduating students and their families. You can read the full speech on Medium.
Democracy is not a given. Our democratic experiment only continues if we continue it. Truffle hunters didn’t stumble across a box of democracy in the woods. We argued it into being. That argument, our nation’s own description of itself, our past and our future, is ours to keep arguing for.
I can think of no more important field of study or practice than the articulation of who we are and who we will become.
