Everywhere I go‚ the cries of the poor ring out—often with the plea‚ “Please help us.” In Africa alone those cries do not come from a few; they come from tens of thousands‚ even millions.

this hasn’t stopped people from easily snatching up priceless artwork that we own. In the 40s—and later the 90s in Boston‚—artwork stored in the Midwest was stolen‚ and many worked to try to recover it. We seem to have not gotten very far‚ though. In 1942‚ the Library of Congress lost some of Walt Whitman’s valuable poetry. They sent it to a guarded facility in the Midwest‚ where it was stored inside of sealed containers. This‚ however‚ hasn’t stopped the master thief from snatching up ten of the notebooks
