Tributes
to Ossie
“[H]e reminded those who lost heart in the
face of this turn of human events, let us not linger
on what is lost, but let us dwell on what it is we
must do. Let us do what we know how to do. Let us
forge an unbreakable solidarity and blow the dust
off the blueprints of our past victories. Let us
reclaim our undistorted moral truth, and turn all of
this into a world of peace.”
