Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions β rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Letβs hope other institutions follow suit.
Today, we mark the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
On that cold Sunday morning, 600 brave souls began their march from Selma to Montgomery. They were met with crushing violence, beaten by troopers with nightsticks and trampled by horses. And still, they returned to Selma and marched on, crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge determined to push our nation toward a future that was more equal, more just, and more free.
60 years later, we honor the legacy of those 600 brave souls, and we march on.
This work is not easy, and we cannot do it alone. Together, we recommit to our fight to safeguard the freedom to vote. Together, we must stand for democracy. Together, we must continue our fight for justice, equality, and opportunity for all.
ICE COLD FACT: No one is gonna Care or Focus on what YOU want in your life as much as YOU.. They simply Wonβt. The sooner you understand and accept that Fact. The sooner you will actually have a chance in this game of life.. If you want it. You are going to have to get it on your own. π
