It Should Be Remembered That Hundreds Of People Of African Ancestry Also Walked The Trail Of Tears With The Cherokee During The Forced Removal Of 1838-1839.

It's Like Everybody's Sitting There And They Have Some Kind Of Veil Over Their Face, And They Look At Each Other Through This Veil That Makes Them See Each Other Through Some Stereotypical Kind Of Viewpoint.

Recognizing The Good, Not Just In One's Own Personal Circumstances, But In The World, Makes Anything Possible. When I Am Asked About The Important Characteristics Of Leadership, Being Of Good, Positive Mind Is At The Top Of My List. If A Leader Can Focus On The Meritorious Characteristics Of Other People And Try To Play To Their Strengths As Well As Find Value In Even The Most Difficult Situation, She Can Inspire Hope And Faith In Others And Motivate Them To Move Forward.
