Thanks for keeping this up. I am both proud and scared for the young woman who’s commencement speech inspired all the dialog that has happened regarding race and racism in the previous months. It’s heavy to have achieved local and even beyond-local notoriety when she’s so young. I hope she goes on to look back positively on her contribution, as I and others do. All wishes for success in the future!
