“Strength in this case (the power within) is not about force or physical power. It is always gentle and acknowledges the capabilities of others. It is about the ability to create poetry in a concentration camp, enter a ‘white’ university as its only black…It is about commitment and dedication to goals worthy of support. It all begins with the individual.” – Bill Cumming
