International Day of Democracy on September 15 allows us the opportunity to celebrate and appreciate our democratic society.
It’s very easy for people who live in a free society to take their freedoms for granted. Yet, when freedom is absent, life includes unimaginable challenges that are often incomprehensible.
Today, let’s reflect on the history of democracy around the world, thank those who influenced the development of our governments, and look for opportunities to promote and protect democracy all over the world.
“We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity.”
Martin Luther King, Jr
