It is time for me to throw another rock at you. In the January issue of the Bottom Line I shared an experience I had early in my career as a community college business administrator. I shared one of five words which would serve as touchstones for me throughout my career, and what that one word meant to me. In this issue, I want to share another of those words, or rocks, from my collection.

Ron Campbell, CASP
CCBO Executive Director

I was born in the Bronx, NY a year before the Supreme Court Brown vs. Board of Education verdict was handed down. My parents were civil rights activists who taught me the power of my voice to change my own life and the lives of others. My neighborhood police station was also known by the nickname "Fort Apache," a term I later learned was negatively aimed at African Americans and not Native Americans...The time has come again for voices to be heard and a call to action needs to be initiated to respond to the serious challenges facing students attending community colleges, the faculty and staff who work there, and the institutions themselves.
