(and to all who wish to listen), Growing up in the South, I have always been fascinated by the Civil Rights Movement. Dr. King and Katherine Johnson (of Hidden Figures fame) have always been among my heroes. This interest even took my family to Birmingham just to visit the Civil Rights Institute. As an Asian-American growing up in America, I felt grateful that the efforts of the black community paved the way for a better life for me. But we need to do better.
