‘to affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.’ – henry david thoreau

Former U.S. President, Barack Obama and New York City Mayor, Zohran Mamdani

sit together to read and sing to children in New York

overflowing with joy.

‘you can’t lead the people if you don’t love the people,

you can’t save the people if you don’t serve the people.’

-cornel west

note: the children guessed that Mamdani’s first name was ‘Mayor’ and did not know who President Obamba was. At the end of their visit, the children gave them their hands to help them stand up from their little chairs because they ‘were older.’
