It's not everyday that we get to really understand historical events through the perspective of someone who was there.
Understanding historical events is so very important to understanding where we are now, and to having true empathy for those who lived through terrible injustices. And just as important, it's a chance to applaud courage and bravery in the face of incredible odds.
Well, my friends, our community is quite fortunate to have an incredible opportunity this Friday, September 12, at 3:30 pm.
Geraldine Hollis, a member of the Tougaloo Nine, will be here -- at the Cesar Chavez Central Library -- to talk about how a group of nine college students took a stand against injustice.
You won't want to miss her story! Trust me.
