THE LEONARD PELTIER WALK FOR
HUMAN RIGHTS
18 December 2011
- 18 May 2012
One good man
or one good woman can change the world, can push back the evil,
and their work can be a beacon for millions, for billions. Are
you that man or woman? If so, may the Great Spirit bless you.
If not, why not? We must each of us be that person. That will
transform the world overnight. That would be a miracle, yes,
but a miracle within our power, our healing power.
~ Leonard
Peltier
