The Politics of the Rose of Sharon

The trek of the Joad family in The Grapes of Wrath is toward their place, their work, and their purpose: the "Promised Land" of their Home. This is the American vision of "justice for all". The challenge before us is to leave no one behind or out on the margins. 

Justice is to somehow mirror the "politics" of Rose of Sharon in The Grapes of Wrath: to save, to serve, and to liberate into their possibilities everyone in the community of our place in the world.  "Come, my friends, it is not yet too late to seek a newer world." (Robert Kennedy) You must unleash the activist in you! Now is the time for commitment and transformation! You just might be the one for whom history will bend toward the good and the beautiful!
