Today is the five-year anniversary of a horrendous massacre at Virginia Tech. It is a good time to remember the powerful words of Virginia Tech professor Nikki Giovanni. Our prayers are with the 32 families that lost a child on that sad and violent day.
What a beautiful tribute.
ReplyDeleteIt was a sad day, indeed. Lovely tribute to them.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your nomination!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful tribute - the speech you cited is exquisite. This resonates with me in particular today as it would have been my older sister's 71st birthday if she had not been murdered in 1988. Sometimes the things that are the worst in this world bring out the best in us.
