“When it was all done and they could ride the buses someone asked Rosa Parks, ‘How do you feel about all this?’” Fmr Sen. Tom Harkin said. “She said, ‘Well my feet are tired, but my soul’s at rest.’ So with Josh Turek coming into the Senate my soul will be at rest.”

It was a meaningful week in Chicago. Perhaps most so because it was a reminder when a collection of people have that blend of missionary spirit and mercenary skill and for a period are their best selves, doing their best work for the best reasons, there is nothing more powerful.
