"Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity." It is achallenge I took very seriously, and which became a paramount goal in mylife. Horace Mann's challenge is more relevant and compelling in our timesthan ever before, because humanity still needs victories and public-spiritedpeople to win them. Every Antioch graduate shares in this obligation …. Noother college emphasizes this challenge so strongly. That's what makesAntioch so special… That's why Antioch has produced so many leaders who havemade significant contributions to human progress." -Alumna Coretta ScottKing speaking at Antioch College in 2004* *
