After a marathon voting session that lasted into the early morning hours Thursday, the Columbia Democratic Club has made its endorsements for this June’s Democratic primary elections.
It was a thrill yesterday to see such a talented group of student musicians from the Peabody Conservatory‼️What a performance. It was great to meet so many people from the community supporting our young artists. It was the 35th annual concert, sponsored by the Columbia Chapter of Links Incorporated and many of the 300 people in attendance hadn’t missed a year. It was that wonderful. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

What are we doing FOR others? Dr. King gave us a charge and a responsibility to care for one another. This simple word “for,” carries a sense of shared humanity and responsibility that was at the heart of his ministry. He did not ask “what are you doing TO others?” Life’s mission should not be to use others to elevate oneself but to help others and thereby help us all.
The remembrances of of Jimmy Carter’s life and legacy in the final days of 2024 remind us who we as a people can aspire to be. Despite the distractions, I choose to believe we have not lost the opportunity to do and be better. May 2025 restore our spirit of generosity and appreciation for honesty and integrity, selflessness and humility with a commitment to continuing the work of building up humanity and resistance to those who would do otherwise. Happy New Year!
Enjoy the Vocal Arts of Fairfax singing in the new year with Auld Lang Syne (roughly translated as “for the sake of old times” – fitting indeed).
