The Day of Silence is tomorrow. In a few minutes actually. 15.
What to say? Where to even start?
Reading about the internment of Japanese Americans, hearing about the genocides in Africa ect, remembering the atrocities against African Americans in the US, knowing that people were "exterminated" in the Holocaust. Learning about all this. This is common knowledge. Things we have memorials for. Things we are ashamed of. And yet, we still discriminate. We still can't figure it out; accept each other, love each other, embrace each others differences... or AT LEAST tolerate them.
Humanity is capable of compassion. I've seen it.

I'm sorry Alex, I told you I would come with you today and I totally forgot until just now. :( But as you know, you're standing up for something so important it's hard to even fully comprehend the way it's affected us all. I agree, we are all capable of compassion. Thanks for always having a voice in things like this and being so inspirational.
