Linda Hamilton is one of the most powerful people I now know of. And she’s often homeless, and is physically crippled. She’s an older black woman in America - not exactly starting very high up on the food chain. But she doesn’t seem to notice. She has something most of us don’t have - compassion for a stranger.
