Here’s something you may not know about that bridge in Selma. Etched into a thin black sheet of metal drilled into the cross beams worn and faded from time are the words: Made in Milwaukee.
Well, aren’t we all made in Milwaukee?
You see we are not walls. We are bridges;
Avenues of civil rights; Freeways of social justice; Paths towards liberation
We are bridges. We are Milwaukee. And #WeAreMarquette.
When we engage the gritty realities of this world, that shake us to our core and make us question our roles as meaningful contributors to the world around us; When we wonder who in the world will we become and if will we ever make the difference we dreamed of ourselves one making
When we engage again and again in God’s messy work for justice, we may ask ourselves: Are we enough? Remember that we are made in Milwaukee. We are Champions of Jesuit Higher Education. And we are Alumni and Alumnae of Marquette University.
Are we enough? We always have been We still are We will always be bridges. Thank you Milwaukee. Thank you Marquette. And thank you Class of 2018.
