For my part, I’ll add this modest goal of my own: to keep learning, asking questions and kicking up dust — and doing whatever I can to inspire others who hear the hounds baying to do the same. And through platforms like edX, through conversations like we’re having today and through every effort to celebrate and defend education as a public good. Kudos to Harvard University. I am in total agreement with political analyst Roland Martin who says, “If Donald Trump comes for an elite educational institution like Harvard today, he is coming for the HBCU’s tomorrow.” Thanks, Roland, for reminding us that doing the right thing is usually not the easy thing but is always the thing that matters.?
