Why is this important?

RACIAL DISORDER - RACIAL HATE - RACISM is damaging in so many ways.

When We, the People, allow it to raise its ugly head, we allow injustice, hurt, loss of goodwill, growth, empowerment, failed peace, lost lives, and missed opportunities.
Chanese is an African American 16-year-old junior at Greendale High School. May we have your support?
