Awareness
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference...”
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Building an effective social justice program begins with understanding the issues, thinking together to understand the times we live in, the institutional crises we face, the consequences of our behavior and our place in the world. "There can be no excuse for not being aware of injustice, human suffering, inequity in this world." [Adam Foley, University of Delaware, 2016]
