1. Leisha Evans: HERO

Can't see that photo enough times.

Evans said afterwards: “When the armoured officers rushed at me, I had no fear. I wasn’t afraid. I was just wondering: ‘How do these people sleep at night?’ Our government is not doing anything for us. So we’re going to have to do something for ourselves. Baton Rouge was enlightening. It opened my eyes. I had been sleeping for years. I have been sleeping and now I’m awake.”

... "I have been sleeping and now I'm awake."

Lots out there are waking up. Hopefully in time.
