“Fear is not the American way, I remind my children. So although I feel America's fear, and on some days even share its contempt or disdain, I do not believe that doing so reflects America at its best. As we strive for a better American union, it is knowledge and compassion, rather than fear mongering and ignorance, that must reign supreme. Today more than ever, America's hope, vision, and exceptionalism are needed as an inspiration for those who are aspiring and struggling to gain the freedom and rights we already have.”

My mind instantly hushes.”

“For sometimes when we wonder, we can make things begin to happen.”
