Jess Bergeman is one of those students a teacher never forgets--she "branded" herself in her 8th grade Oratorical Contest speech as "Tigger"--a wonderfully warm and positive light in a sometimes dreary, dangerous world. Jess, biracial in Boyertown, where the KKK gathered monthly in our town's square, recalls being protected in a bubble of support that her friends provided. "Excelling" became her shield; "success" remains her mantra in efforts dedicated to effecting positive change in this complicated, exhausting time.
