It is a legacy of courage,
but it's not just a courage,
any kind of courage--the courage to take a wild scientific idea
and to prove that it's true when your colleagues are all saying,
"highly unlikely."
No. It's a courage about humanity
because I wouldn't want to stretch it to become kind of like a meaning,
like all things to all people.
It was a courage about human equality,
and everybody having the right to be able to
be fully themselves.
I think for a lot of students today,
I hear a lot of students saying,
"Well gee, I probably should major in business
because that's more likely to get me a job,
um though I really like archeology."
I think it's the courage to be who you are is part of that.
