I understand that I will never fully understand but, I stand. I hear you. I see you. I stand with you. I wanted to disclaim that I said, "I'll be educating myself this week." This goes BEYOND just this week, next week or the week after that. I will be educating myself, for the rest of my life and I ask you to do the same. Don't make this a week "trend" and then forget. Always and forever educate yourself. Always and forever fight for justice. Always and forever fight for HUMAN RIGHTS. This isn't a one week situation. This will NEVER be a one week situation. Forever educate yourself.
