Today's San Francisco Chronicle highlights a teen-produced documentary about Class of '81 Oakland teens credited with making Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a California state holiday.
The film project started after Nick Parker, then 16, challenged a stranger to tell a story that would inspire him. That stranger had taught those Oakland kids.
Everyone knows stories can inspire. The question is -- when do they inspire?
Do we sprinkle stories and pray for germination? Or wait ... for the right moment, the right someone?
Maybe it's best to hedge. Try both. See what sticks.
