The theme of this work portrays the many issues that the country has faced

over time, but always, it was the power of an active citizenry, at various

levels of national life, that shaped the life of the country.  The following

quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt says it well:

"...A Nation must believe in three things:

It must believe in the past.

It must believe in the future.

It must, above all,

believe in the capacity

of its own people

so to learn from the past,

that they can gain in judgement

in creating their own future..."

                       --Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945)
