Activist and Student, Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School
NEVER LET YOUR INABILITY TO do everything undermine your determination to do something.
The opposite of justice is not injustice; it is inaction, indifference, apathy, and ignorance.
Actions for good, in service of justiceeven just one actionstanding up against what is wrong, standing up against corrupt power or hate, will make a difference.
We are called to use our power to make change. It is why we are here now, because those before us used their power.
This is the story of humanity. Its not the oppressors or oppression that has advanced the world, but those who have stood up against it allthose who have resisted.
There are millions of people and countless more stories from our history that speak to this truth. It is our truth, and it is also our urgent imperative: to pay back the blessings we have inherited from those who have resisted with our own continued struggle, service, and resistance.
May we never be silent in the face of injustice, may we never be still when wrongs persist, and may we always remember our past and thosewhose names are often forgotten by historywho stood up for us.
I learned recently about how great resisters changed our reality, my reality.
On March 7, 1965, years before I was born, close to six hundred marchers set out to walk from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.
The marchers seemingly failed. They ended up bruised and bloody, with bones broken, and on that day would not make it to their final destination.
These Americans were protesting the fact that at that time, black Americans across the country, and particularly in the South, regularly faced harassment, discrimination, and violence from those seeking to prevent them from exercising their constitutional right to vote.
So on that historic day they set out to protest, to walk from Selma to Montgomery.
It was a peaceful protest, a nonviolent demonstration, and yet the marchers were met with violence from Alabama state troopers as they sought to stop and pray on the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
The Alabama state troopers charged into the marchers. They attacked the peaceful protesters with tear gas and billy clubs. The peaceful marchers didnt fight back. Dozens of marchers were severely injured as they were clubbed over their heads and bodies and inhaled the awful chemicals.
That day became known as Bloody Sunday because of the injuries sustained by the nonviolent activists, many of whom bled from their wounds from the severe beating.
While these marchers failed to make it to their final destination, their struggle, their willingness to endure such violence, their resistance to oppression, were not in vain.
