“I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.

But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.”
