Why is it important for us to reflect on the past as we prepare for the next century of growth and progress?

Reflection helps us move forward with intention. We can’t talk about progress without honoring the people and the moments that made it possible. When we pause to reflect, we remember that the city we enjoy today was built by those who believed in its promise long before us. That understanding should guide every decision we make for the next century so that our progress always honors our past.
