Call To Action Day 2016

This years Call to Action Day was one for the books. I really loved the topic and I think that we should have more days and opportunities to have these facilitated discussions amongst our community here at school. Bobby Vaughn's speech was really inspiring and I was very moved by it. When we broke off into groups I was really surprised and shocked at the stories people were telling. I knew people could be ignorant, but I didn't think they were that ignorant. I was really touched by the stories of people who stood up for themselves when they were being discriminated against. Coming together and sharing what everyone discussed in their groups was really amazing. In my opinion not all of the groups actually understood what the topic of day was about, but majority did answer it. My takeaway from the day was that IF All LIVES MATTER THEN BLACK LIVES SHOULD MATTER and IF BLACK LIVES DON'T MATTER THEN ALL LIVES DON'T MATTER.
