Mount Vernon Insider: Statement from Richard Thomas: Mourning the Loss of American Trailblazer, Business, and Civil Rights Leader Vernon Jordan.

Mourning the Loss of American Trailblazer, business, and civil rights leader Vernon Jordan.

Deepest condolences to the Jordan family on our shared loss of the American Trailblazer, business, and civil rights leader - Vernon Jordan. He told me to embrace the duty to fight for the larger interests of America’s dispossessed. He told me to continue waging war to end poverty, end discrimination, and work to level the playing field so all can pursue life, liberty, and happiness. He knew that there is “Balm in Gilead - there is a doctor to heal a sick society.” Thank you for the inspiration, time, and wisdom to challenge on toward justice for the greater good! Rest in Power Mr. Jordan! #vernonjordan
