People—If you want to learn about strength and courage in the face of indifference and injustice, I encourage you to study the men and women of the Civil Rights movement. Their fight was long, life-threatening, dehumanizing and constantly disheartening. And yet they perservered.
They were lynched, their children were sprayed with fire hoses and set upon by dogs, crosses were burned in their yards, their churches were firebombed, they often relied on their oppressors for their jobs, they were kept from the polls.
So—a little perspective. If you’re angry then use your time and your money and your vote to make change. ❤️
