On Wednesday, returning home after a long day in Asheville, I saw something I had never seen in Madison County, a pro-choice rally organized by students at Madison High School. I stopped to speak with the students and make photographs.
We are living in perilous times with our democracy being threatened and our rights being trampled. Despite these ongoing dangers, I came away from my short visit with these students filled with a sense of hope and awe. I can only applaud these young people - for their activism, their strength of character, and their courage in standing up to the voices of oppression that want to return our society to an unwanted past. I, and many other people, thank you.
