Mark Culliton

“As we age we cannot afford to allow what we know to define what is possible when striving for social justice. We must learn from our experience and share what knowledge we have attained, but we must be careful not to get set in our ways or stuck in our thinking. We must live into our years by continuing to explore and question and be curious and ensure that we are not living now dreaming about before. If we have the courage and humility, we can help yesterday’s truths become tomorrow’s memories and help usher in a better and more just world.”
