Yea, but back then they were real adults and didn’t need safe spaces and faced actual aggressions instead of micro ones. That’s like comparing a motorcycle to a bike with training wheels.
Our youth have always been our future:
MLK was 26 when he helped lead the Montgomery Bus Boycott
John Lewis was 21 when he went down to Mississippi as one of the original Freedom Riders
Diane Nash was 22 when she started leading sit-ins in Nashville

Kids are being gunned down on the streets and in their classrooms. I'd hardly call those microaggressions.

The youth will be the future always. Their drive will ensure there is less of the insanity we are currently witnessing. They will be future presidents. We have to fight 2 ensure they get the chance 2 make the change we all know we need. Join the movement. We can. We must.We will.
