Einstein, when he arrived in America, was shocked at how Black Americans were treated.
“There is separation of colored people from white people in the United States,” he said. “That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. And, I do not intend to be quiet about it.”
…and, he wasn’t.
Although he had a fear of speaking in public, he made all the effort he could to spread the word of equality, denouncing racism and segregation and becoming a huge proponent of civil rights even before the term became fashionable. Einstein was a member of several civil rights groups (including the Princeton chapter of the NAACP).
What a man!

It did not take a genius to see, but took a man of courage to speak out. Einstein continues to rise in everyone’s book just when you thought he had peaked.

I wanted to add my kids and one of their friends we had over for dinner were all impressed about Einstein’s courage of conviction. After discussing this awhile, one asked a good question, who is our Einstein of today? I said, the one that comes to mind is Bill Gates, especially with his philanthropy on top of his genius. Who would you say?
