Turn tragedy to triumph. Turn anger into change.

...because momentary anger will not bring positive progress. 

A stance is needed. We need to be the ones who make it. With love. With a purpose. With each other.

Anger alone rarely creates positive change. What is needed is community mobilization through education. I don't mean just schooling but that isn't to say that 'higher learning' should be completely discounted. And I don't mean just black when I say community. The court system has never claimed to be just but a system that upholds law. Laws can be very unjust. Laws change as the people they govern habitually demand them to. Laws change when the people they govern fight laws which are unjust in the name of equality and integrity. Our anger as a collective will diminish over time. It has before and it will again. But collected efforts to make a positive change fueled now by anger and sustained by love will last and, in time, be the seed that makes things even better. Be angry. Then make a plan and take action that leads to positive change for us all. Together we can do something greater than any of us alone can.
