Woke up and checked my phone as one does and just saw the news about Jesse Jackson. I remember when he ran for president and I was a tiny kid, the only blind kid in my town, in a family of sighted folks and I remember seeing him on a stage full of white dudes and thinking how brave he was for being the only black person in a group of white folks, and yet he was still up there, striving to make the world a better place, and having to deal with people's racism. And yet he was trying to make change anyway, and speaking out. It really inspired me and made me feel less alone. It taught me that even though you are the one different person, amongst a sea of otherwise similar folks you shouldn't let their narrow mindedness keep you from speaking truth. RIP Reverend Jackson.
