Rep. Keith Ellison: An opportunity to help citizens around the world

August 6, 2009

Watch Representative Keith Ellison [D-MN] discuss his Africa trip and upcoming mission to Kenya with the CSIS Commission on Smart Global Health Policy:

“Those who have been given the opportunity to have a high standard of living have a duty to try to spread their blessings to other people, in a humble way. To whom much is given, much is expected…and I think the United States needs to take a more responsible attitude towards our neighbors around the globe… we’re here to assist in this effort to improve the quality of life and well-being of people in Kenya.”

Keith Ellison will also be "tweeting" his experiences abroad. Sign up now for Twitter updates from the Commission and from Keith Ellison to receive live news from the Commissioners themselves!
