This weekend, amongst the legion of protests throughout the country, indeed, throughout the world, protestors briefly commandeered the Golden Gate Bridge to make their voices heard. It was the second enormous and possibly most scenic protest within one week in San Francisco- both of which were organized and led by individual seventeen year old girls! What were you doing when you were... seventeen?

Remember when "taking a knee" was a gesture so outlandish, so completely and utterly beyond the pale that it was complete anathema to any White male? Remember how Colin Kaepernick was vilified, banned and threatened for attempting to proclaim and propagate the truth with the most simple, respectful and graceful of gestures? Yeah, I do too.
Why does it take acts of violent, senseless and preventable death for humans to finally denounce insanity, no matter how ingrained, and embrace the most basic of truths, to acknowledge the most obvious of realities that control and confront us each and every day?
