I'm an immigrant with an interesting story, but this isn't about me. The effect Dr. Kings words and sacrifice on me as a child, simply divided history. It planted a seed in my DNA that gave me the spiritual compass I knew I had to emulate because it was real, and still happening.
Seeing this 25 years later, instantly took me back to such a beautiful moment and knowing that this carries the same effect but on a larger and such a diverse crowd gave me hope during the most difficult time to date.
The teachers were amazing and painted harsh realities with the same gentleness of Bob Ross. The fact that a single statement rectifying that our schools washed away all other Black History to solely focus on the Reverend is a disservice to ourselves and children. Solid kudos for making a such a powerful statement and being so welcoming.
This change is within OUR reach and the steps to change a long and sickening vicious circle to a virtuous one, starts at home and cemented by our teachers.
Be the change, don't stop. Like the reverend said, "you matter. you are somebody."
