The LeoFinelli.com Most Influential Person of 2017

SHE ARRIVED ON A STRANGELY warm March evening in New York earlier this year. She was loaded off her truck and fixed opposite a thirty-year-old statue of a charging bull. She was the brainchild of advertising agency McCann and State Street Global Advisors. She was five feet tall, and she had the same proactive attitude as every other girl in New York. She had hair blowing in the wind, she wore a T-shirt and a skirt, she wore sneakers. She was just like every other girl in New York. Except she could not move.

What the world needs now is love

An arts student named Shelbie Rassler rallied 74 socially-distanced classmates into a virtual orchestra to perform the classic song "What the World Needs Now is Love" (music by Burt Bacharach, lyrics by Hal David), and the result is amazing. Here it is: Rassler, who is originally from Florida, heard from dozens of musicians almost immediately, and the video even reached composer Bacharach (lyricist David died in 2012) and told NPR that he felt "very proud and honored to see my song performed by these extremely talented students." Meanwhile, in Long Island, the rainbow has been embraced as a symbol of communal love, support, and resilience. Click here to see how. CLOSING QUESTION (Leave your answers in the comments) If you were going to display something outside your house to promote love, support, and resilience during this crisis in your community, what would it be?
