The backstory: The door that leads to the basement steps in my house has an old-fashioned chalkboard installed on it. Earlier this year, I decided it would be nice to use that chalkboard. For a while, I had a countdown to the start of Spring. Then I found some quotes to write on the board and that habit seems to have stuck. The quotes have varied; some are inspirational and some are just cheerful.
This month, I used a Frederick Douglass quote from a postcard that T gave me. The postcard is on my bulletin board at school and I thought a second version at home was a good September reminder. It’s appropriate not just for the start of the school but also as a reminder of my obligations in the current political climate. When I see it each day, it reminds me how I want our world to be and what I can do to make that happen.
