In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. - Albert Schweitzer Happy #WinterSolstice 🔥@RedPepperArts @KensingtonMkt

I first met Clark Reynolds when he was just three years old at our Black History Month reception at the White House. Over the last ten years, it's been wonderful getting updates about his life through his letters. Check out how he’s doing now:

Life update. Thank you all so much for the kind messages and support. It’s meant the world to know my journalism has resonated with so many of you.

Born 99 years ago today, Coretta Scott King was a civil rights and equality champion, and the wife of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Many years ago, I wrote her wise words on a piece of paper and taped it inside a cabinet in my home. Remembering her today.

One last message before the launch of Artemis II...

Stephen Lewis lived his life so fully. And so many of us are grateful for his contributions. His generosity of spirit inspired Canadians to always do more. To not just be kind to each other, but to strangers too. From being a steadfast force to end AIDS in Africa, and around the world, to supporting communities rising out of poverty. And he challenged us all as Leader of the Ontario NDP, through his fight for real rent control, and protections for workers’ safety. He brought out the best in us. He helped others to have hope that things could change. Stephen Lewis inspired people across Canada, and the world.  And, I knew him personally. He gave a eulogy at my late husband Jack Layton's funeral. I’ll miss him dearly.  May we continue to fight for a better world in honour of his legacy.

Robert Mueller devoted his life to service — from the Marine Corps to leading the FBI and serving as Special Counsel. He believed deeply in the rule of law and the responsibility to uphold it. His legacy is one of integrity, duty, and strength of character. My thoughts are with his family.

Sister Mary Kenneth Keller was told computers were “not for women”. She ignored it, earned a PhD, and became the first woman in the U.S. to receive a doctorate in computer science, helping shape modern programming languages.
