THE FAMILY PERSPECTIVE
A revolution is not just for the purpose of correcting past injustices. A revolution involves a projection of man/ woman into the future.… (It) begins with those who are revolutionary exploring and enriching their notion of a “new man/woman” and projecting the notion of this “new man/ woman” into which each of us can transform ourselves.
— JAMES AND GRACE LEE BOGGS, REVOLUTION AND EVOLUTION IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY1
On the level of significance, the family becomes the vehicle through which people can effectively contribute to the well-being of others.… Contributing together as a family not only helps those who benefit from the contribution, but it also strengthens the contributing family.
