Apple CEO Tim Cook, at George Washington University Graduation, speaking about his youth in Alabama:
Cook described his teenage years in Alabama and recalled meeting then-Gov. George Wallace, who opposed desegregation. “Meeting my governor was not an honor for me,” Cook told the crowd. “Shaking his hand felt like a betrayal of my own beliefs. It felt wrong, like I was selling a piece of my soul.”
Unfortunately there were many other teens who supported Wallace. And segregation.
Do you ever wonder, as I do, where those young people are now?
