I can’t believe that that was our country 50 years ago. I can’t believe innocent people were beat to the ground and murdered for fighting for their right to vote. I can’t believe it took that long.

I can’t believe we’re still struggling.

It’s so disheartening to hear about all the victims of police brutality just in the last year. It’s sickening to think about the hate and violence during the civil rights movement. I can’t wrap my head around it.

That people can hate other people just because of the color of their skin.

Isn’t that just ridiculous. We’re all human. We all live on this earth.

But, I guess it’s not really living if some of us are just trying to survive.

I know it’s a touchy subject and I know it’s hard. But I wish people cared more. I wish more people cared. I wish because everyone needs to know this history, now more than ever.
