Hillary and I were very saddened to hear of Daisy Bates' death this morning.
If we cannot do this now, at the time of our greatest prosperity, we will never get around to it.
Her death will leave a vacuum in the civil rights community, the State of Arkansas, and our country.
I think we'll feel better if we do.
