    Bob Moses was a hero of mine. His quiet confidence helped shape the civil rights movement, and he inspired generations of young people looking to make a difference. Michelle and I send our prayers to Janet and the rest of the Moses family.

    Even when he was confined to the darkness of a jail cell, Madiba’s light shone brightly. Today, as we reflect on his legacy, I see Mandela’s spirit alive in our leaders. I’m inspired by their service, and the work they’re doing to create the change we need now.
