The Urgent Need for the Work of the Center
The purpose and intent of the Center are ambitious but entirely possible and the urgency of the work and for the center is unquestionable. “No matter what your gender, your race, your religion, every child is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that does not harm others,” Louise Rosenblatt said at an International Scholars Forum at Hofstra University on September 21, 2001. Louise was ninety six years old when she spoke and she continued to make speeches and lobby congress until she died in her one hundred and first year. “Those who sit back and wait, are, I believe, ignoring children whose lives are affected,” Louise said. “We must try to influence what is happening to children, and if we fail, as well we may, we shall at least have spread some ideas, have educated some, who will continue the resistance.”
