Landmark Wisdom From Mitch Landrieu, Mayor Of New Orleans, LA--

"We justify our silence and inaction by manufacturing noble causes that marinate in historical denial. We still find a way to say ‘wait’/not so fast, but like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, 'Wait has almost always meant never.' We can’t wait any longer. We need to change. And we need to change now." -Mitch Landrieu, Mayor of New Orleans, on the removal of statues of prominent Confederate heroes and leaders in the city and his elucidation of a more perfect Union, May 2017
