Sarah Simms (w/ Hayley Johnson): “In archives, forgotten and marginalized histories are still waiting to be uncovered. The history put before you today was buried in archives across the country, effectively silencing the voices of those men and their families.” #TEDxLSU

Andrea Eastin: “Imagine if you bought 25% less pieces of clothing & instead invested that same amount of money into altering 75% of your wardrobe… When things fit better, they get more use. If we’re buying a little less, ultimately we’re sending less to our landfills.”#TEDxLSU
