I went to hear Alabama's 7th Distric U.S. Congressman, Artur Davis, speak at a luncheon this week. He spoke, and the room of hundreds fell silent. His challenge was to each person to think outside of his/her box. We may or may not be directly influenced by the problems of this city, but we are charged with caring for the wellbeing of those less privileged who ARE. The Birmingham school system has problems. Your kids aren't students in it? You don't have kids? Step outside of your box. If you have the ability to affect change, vote for those who can't.
