"And, in Charlottesville, VA, high school students are responding to the debate around the Confederate monuments in their community by creating their own multimedia monument that, instead, celebrates and amplifies diversity and inclusivity." - @johnlegend in @HuffPost – at Hollymead, VA

I thought I would share.. We’ve had disapproving looks, ‘we are full’, ‘is that your wife’ and many more actions questioning our relationship over the last 40+yrs We haven't wavered! The best way of fighting racism is living your life, standing tall and educating. #Diversity
