“Leadership is not a license to do less; it is a responsibility to do more.”
-Simon Sinek (Leaders Eat Last)
Tavis Smiley, Author, Radio/TV host (circa 2005) in Washington, DC
If you enjoyed the film “Selma,” which paints an intimate portrait of the coalitions and strategies of the Civil Rights Movement, we suggest you move next to “Death of a King” by Tavis Smiley. His book gives a revealing look at the last year of Dr. King’s life (the good, the bad and the unforeseen).
Smiley is pictured here in Washington, DC in 2005.

ESPN announcer and SU grad (’84) Sean McDonough spoke at Newhouse School of Communications on Friday.
Veteran sports journalist Sean McDonough has covered everything from the Olympics and The Masters to the World Series. On Friday, he advised SU students to get as much practical experience as they could on the Hill and early in their careers. And although he graduated 30 years ago, he still finds himself rooting for SU when they are televised (but not when he’s doing play-by of course).
McDonough called today’s SU v. Miami game with Kara Lawson.

Journalist/Artist Ty Marshal, Bethany Holbrook (Downtown Committee), food activist Martin Butts, Chris Fowler (Syracuse First) and John DeSantis (Believe in Syracuse )discussed the fine line between civic pride and civic engagement at Social Media Breakfast #21 this morning. The meeting was held at the Sky Armory. It’s about caring about the place where you are…you can’t have civic engagement without civic pride, according to Fowler.

Raquan Pride II (center) reminded us that maturity has more to do with acceptance of responsibility than age. The Syracuse Academy of Science 6th grader participated in the community dialogue at CFAC last night, and his insights often elicited applause from the audience.
