This week Operation HOPE stood with my friend and HOPE Partner, Los Angeles City Councilman Eric Garcetti, as we announced the results of the work of the Mortgage HOPE Crisis Hotline, and stood with families and individuals who have had their lives positively impacted, and in each case their home saved, because of our work.
What most do not know is that the Mortgage HOPE Crisis Hotline, which is now national, has modified or helped to restructure more than $450 million in mortgages (half a $ billion) and served more than 100,000 individuals and familes, was originally the idea of one Eric Garcetti. That's right -- a politician actually doing his job, as public servant.

Today I was deeply honored to meet and spend substantive time one on one with former U.S. President (and my friend) William Jefferson Clinton, in his Clinton Foundation office in Harlem, New York. I was also pleased to have with me Mrs. Mary Hagerty Ehrsam, our global chief of financial dignity. Our government relations chief, Ms. Jena Roscoe who worked for President Clinton in the second term at the White House, did not join us but she was there with us in spirit.
We covered a range of items of mutual interest to both his foundations and the Operation HOPE family, both domestic and international, including the new Gallup-HOPE Index and the Gallup-HOPE Index Cities Initiative. We actually presented President Clinton and his staff with the first draft copy of the Gallup-HOPE Index 2011 Report, which will be mailed out nationwide to leaders later this month. We also briefed the President on the HOPE Financial Dignity Center, Ebenezer which is presently under construction in Atlanta (at the King Center complex and within th new Martin Luther King, Sr. Community Resource Complex), our new HOPE Office of Small Business & Entrepreneurship which will be formally announced to the public on my birthday, February 6th, 2012, along with our new HOPE Business-In-A-Box and the HOPE FILE Program (HOPE Fellows, HOPE Interns and HOPE Loan Executive Programs).

As the nation remembers Martin Luther King Jr's famous "I have a dream" speech, others are turning their attention to a new movement.
"Forty years after his death, we need to realize his last movement was about economics, it was a poor peoples campaign. It was no accident that last movement was not about race," said John Hope Bryant, the chairman and CEO of Operation Hope.
John Hope Bryant served as the special guest speaker Friday night at the 2nd annual MLK Awards Dinner. He says the new movement is not "civil rights" but "silver rights."
"This cannot be about any race. We have to see that we're all bound up together. This is about class and not race. We are really in a fight against China, not a fight against each other," he said.
The theme of the awards dinner, which honored several local people for their work in the community, was "Creating Economic Empowerment, Building the Dream."
"We get a little complacent. We forget about what Dr. King really wanted us to do. We have to refocus and I think building on the dream theme tonight is most appropriate," said James Sherrod, executive director of the Bayfront NATO Martin Luther King Center.
And while they shift their focus slightly, remembering Dr. King's legacy continues to remain just as important.
