Oh, great. I guess Louis Farrakhan was not available.
On second thought, I’m probably not being fair by comparing Farrakhan to Lightfoot. Both people are stone cold racists. But Farrakhan is at least somewhat competent.
I have to admit, I laughed when I read your post...but oddly, has a kernel of truth. If those two were my only choices to build a walking bridge over a creek, I would choose Farrakhan, but he would probably insist I dig the holes and haul the rocks!
Lightfoot would be useful only as foundational material between the rocks, or to scare any wandering wildlife or people away.
Of all the 'once in a lifetime' chances to care about, mentoring Harvard students is not much of an opportunity.
