Power
On Monday, Republican Congressman Michael Grimm, who infamously threatened to throw a reporter off a balcony, surrendered to the FBI. The case includes allegations that Grimm denied his health food store workers a proper wage.
On Tuesday, LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling was banned from the NBA for his reprehensible, racist rant.
Yes, these are two very different stories -- but they both remind me of the powerful quote from Frederick Douglass:
"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will."
