Reflections on the Fellowship
As I look back, I am aware of just how “formative” my Revson year was for me. Much of my energy and new ideas for a church-based response to poverty, racism, unemployment, and violence came out of the debates and discussions with the Revson Fellows in my class. One of the most neglected human resources in the city is the activists. The Revson Program redresses this critical imbalance, believing that democracy and public policy will be qualitatively improved if activists return to their communities with newly acquired skills, refined insights, and an informal network of new friends.
