For it is this faith that will instill confidence in the actions we take today. Faith that will make it possible for us to walk through this unfriendly land with pride and dignity because we know our goals are greater than any obstacle they can put before us. If we Pull on the power of our kuumba, and back it up with the power of our Imani.
