"For Bill Lindsey, failure was not an option. Nor were excuses. He lived by the principle that every American, regardless of race, ethnicity or economic circumstances, had a right to build a better life....Time magazine and The Wall Street Journal, among other national publications, focused on Bill as an innovative thinker who could make things happen. Politicians listened to him, too, and he offered considerable input to national leaders on public housing and welfare reform."
