Dr. Hope Johnson, you've come to know her spirit through these posts. Take them to heart, use them for inspiration, refer to them when the challenges we face are getting you down. We all need hope, but we can't be hopeful alone. Reach out, find others who share your passions, celebrate the small victories, and keep on working for change. We shall overcome!

On this day in 2012, the City of Ruleville, Mississippi, unveiled and dedicated the National Fannie Lou Hamer Memorial Statue. The Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth in Alabama and Ms. Fannie Lou Hamer in Mississippi were two unstoppable figures in the fight for justice and equity n the Civil Rights Movement. Their commitments were fueled by an abiding sense of hope that things could change.
​
What do you hope to change in the coming year?

Are hope and conviction the same thing? Do you need one to have the other? Can you have one without the other? How does agitation relate to hope?

Day 26: Dissent

Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court on this day in 1967, where he served until his death in 1993. The first African American on the nation's highest court, Marshall had previously served as the lead attorney in the Brown v. Board of Education case which led to the end of legal segregation in the nation’s schools.
​
Is there any greater hope for young people today than there was in Marshall's time? If so, what is the source of that hope? If not, do you agree that "we must dissent" from our government? What does that look like?

Day 25: Rooting out Racism

Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it. It’s up to all of us — Black, white, everyone — no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out.

​Do you have hope that we can move past racism?  Where does that hope stem from? Do you agree with Michelle Obama that it is up to all of us? What are you doing today to root our racism?
