Quote From Representative John Lewis' Final Essay
via Boing Boing
"Ordinary people with extraordinary vision can redeem the soul of America by getting in what I call good trouble, necessary trouble. Voting and participating in the democratic process are key. The vote is the most powerful nonviolent change agent you have in a democratic society. You must use it because it is not guaranteed. You can lose it.
You must also study and learn the lessons of history because humanity has been involved in this soul-wrenching, existential struggle for a very long time. People on every continent have stood in your shoes, though decades and centuries before you. The truth does not change, and that is why the answers worked out long ago can help you find solutions to the challenges of our time. Continue to build union between movements stretching across the globe because we must put away our willingness to profit from the exploitation of others.
Though I may not be here with you, I urge you to answer the highest calling of your heart and stand up for what you truly believe. In my life I have done all I can to demonstrate that the way of peace, the way of love and nonviolence is the more excellent way. Now it is your turn to let freedom ring."

Man Documents Growing Out His Hair For 2 Years In The Peace Corps
"Aloha everybody! I'm blown away by the love everyone is showing for my video - you guys are the best! Thanks for the nice comments and even the negative ones from the haters. It's always cool to see people's perspective so I appreciate that. I see everyone has lots of questions and not sure I can get to all of them, so I'm just gonna write some notes down here:
1. I didn't touch my hair or facial hair at all for 2 years after I shaved it all off. Saved a lot on shaving cream and haircuts!
2. This was filmed in Madagascar; the fourth largest island in the world with some of the kindest people you'll ever meet.
3. Some highlights of my service: I taught English to about 500 middle and high schoolers during my two years and raised $3,000 to buy 11 computers for my community among other things. Also cooked a lot of pancakes and pooped in a hole.
4. Most of the shots were taken during the school breaks and weekends proving that it is possible to work hard and play even harder ;p
5. Last but not least, aloha to all my Hawaiian braddahs and sistahs out there. Hilo represent!!! \m/"

Living on the Most Crowded Island on Earth
Published on Mar 22, 2018 Great Big Story
"Two hours off the coast of Colombia is a small island home to over 1,200 people. As the entirety of Santa Cruz del Islote only spans the length of two soccer fields, residents live in close quarters, making the island four times as dense as the borough of Manhattan. Despite the circumstances, the community makes the most of their limited surface area, packing in a school, two shops and one restaurant. Only 150 years ago, the island was uninhabited; today, generations of families are proud to call Santa Cruz del Islote home."

Are Hispanics White? | Decoded | MTV News
Published on Aug 24, 2016 MTV News
"Are Hispanic and Latino racial categories? Well, according the US Census they're not. And with good reason! Just like the US, Latin America has an incredibly complex racial history and latinx in America represent this highly varied background. Of course this reality makes talking about race, ethnicity and whiteness in America even more confusing! So we enlisted the help of Kat Lazo to break it all down."
