Role Models : Men of Measure ~ John Conyers ~ Carl Levin ~ Julian Bond

by Patricia Britt

John Conyers  ( Proposed water shut offs and more http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-conyers )  has weathered many storms, and had his metal tested, yet elevated above the racism he had to endure in his early years that allowed him to be the role model that he is today. I project he must have internalized the guiding universal principles of manhood  Hollywood produced in it’s golden age that impacted him to look out for the weak, and to be strong for the many.

I had the privilege to observe Carl Levin, and Debbie Stabenow too in my early work career path. By osmosis I learned if you treat the highest, or the lowest with respect you will have the esteem of many and reach your goals with support.

I also had the privilege to meet Julian Bond in a short conversation, and he is all anyone could ever want in a father of so many imparting wisdom seen on television over decades of time.

These people answered the call, set the pace in the quest for equality, and dignity standing up for everyone's rights. Though they were capable of ascending to the presidency times prevented them, however they made a path to achievement.
