“…Congressman over the years, seeing him several times, and following his outstanding published works for adults and children about his life and beliefs. These books included an autobiography called "Walking with the Wind," and graphic novels, one series of which was entitled "March" about marching in Selma, and "Run," urging young people to run for public office (Lewis, 2012;Lewis & Aydin, 2016Lewis & D'orso, 1998).

On the 100th birthday of the Global Alliance for Behavioral Health and Social Justice, it is appropriate to reflect on the evolution of thought on depression prevention research, as seen through a historical perspective, to note how the field has grown and how it can address the issues of today. This article is a personal reflection on one practitioner’s evolution of thought on resilience and preventive intervention, starting with interviewing civil rights workers, to conceptualizing self-understanding as an essential component of resilience, to the development of a family-based preventive intervention for parental depression, which was disseminated, adapted, and incorporated into a growing body of prevention research. Consensus statements on mental health prevention from the National Academies are reviewed, and the importance of a social justice perspective is highlighted throughout. The article concludes with principles for developing effective preventive interventions to promote mental health today, and in the future.

“…Beyond basic demographics, my participant shares many similarities with the inspiration for his pseudonym, Congressman John Robert Lewis. Congressman Lewis was also born into poverty in the American South in 1940 and is best known for his philosophy of non-violence as a civil rights activist beginning in the 1960s (Lewis & D'Orso, 2015). Reading his biography, I was struck by the union of gravitas and humility embodied by Congressman Lewis.…”

The American democracy is experiencing strain from the erosion of democratic norms and its political, judicial, social, and economic institutions. In short, the American democracy shows signs of democratic deconsolidation. Community colleges are higher education institutions that help consolidate the U.S. democracy by representing democratic values such as equality and opportunity. The purpose of my study was to explore how selected community college presidents understand and articulate the responsibility of their institutions to prepare students for a meaningful role in the American democracy. Qualitative narrative inquiry methods, including in-depth semistructured interviews and document analysis, were used to collect data for the study. Three primary themes emerged from the data that addressed the purpose of this study: 1) community college philosophy: blueprint for a vision, 2) consolidating local democracies, and 3) citizens as students, students as citizens. These three themes supported further interpretation of the data that was organized under these headings, 1) the community college democratic mission, 2) community colleges help deepen democracy, and 3) the role of community colleges in the American democracy: public goods, private goods. In summary, my research found that first, my participants believed that community colleges have a responsibility to the American democracy and this responsibility is reflected in their community college mission. Second, my participants framed the American democracy as a continual work in progress and that community colleges help deepen democracy. Third, for my participants, community colleges are not merely distinct in their institutional mission and philosophy, but in their role in supporting the American democracy.
