America is a great nation because of the choices its citizens have made in the interest of individualism and humanity. With understanding and humility, we have instilled great morals and policies that reward choices in the effort to better one another. Striving to climb the ladder of freedom, we have drawn the eyes of the world.

Though the ladder is unstable, the way to balance it is to keep climbing. We must explore for the next step of the ladder, find that choice, the opportunity to become better people. We should dismiss the steps that only make us look better or feel better. Avoid the steps that compare, blame, and measure. In the endeavor to find the right steps, we must reach deep within ourselves. The unique individual who truly loves freedom will find the right step and the ladder will stabilize.

May I talk with Mr. Denzel Washington, you mentioned Mr. Paul Robeson, who had the lead in “riverboat”, and the song “old man river”, if I may have a minute of your time I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
