March 1

As I read March this summer, I was also working on a pretty extensive project on the Atlanta Student Movement. The whole thing got me thinking. A lot.
In the book, Lewis describes the first time he heard Dr. King speak.
And I remembered the first time I heard Congressman Lewis speak.
It was at the Atlanta Women's March. I had never seen so many people before in my LIFE!
With Liberty & Justice for ALL.
So many people, in fact, that we couldn't get anywhere near him.
That didn't matter. My fiance and I were both in awe.
I also thought about my roles as a teacher and...well, a human being.
Like many Americans, I had been kickstarted into action by... current events. The Women's March hadn't been my first protest, but after it, I hit the streets more than ever,
But I worried about being seen on the news at rougher and rougher demonstrations. At one antifascist rally, tensions were so high I realized suddenly that I'd been calmly waiting to get shot. And I worried about being arrested, no matter how careful I was to protest lawfully.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
NO MORE
But I thought about the day my students participated in the walkout. How mature and genuine they were...
School should B safe
And I thought about Lewis and the other brave students...
And I think I know in which direction I plan to march.
Welcome to 9th Lit! We're going to have a great year!
