We’ve come through a full year of unprecedented change and we did it together. I am so proud of the work we’ve done to make this a monumental year.

When I think about all we’ve accomplished, it is wild to believe it has been just a single school year: We started the year with a call to get in good trouble. [...]

She wanted America to see how racism and white supremacy literally dismembered, dishonored, and killed her Black son. America is being pushed to see again - just how violent and murderous racism and white supremacy is. We saw the video. We heard George Floyd call out for his mother. [...]
