Endless Pondering

Reunions During The Protest

When I stopped by HMB during its lockdown for an hour on my way home from SC, I saw one old student of mine, several  classmates from my younger days and  few few colleagues of mine.

On Saturday when I participated in the march, the rally at Capitol, and the homecoming on campus afterwards, I saw more old classmates,  some that I have not seen for twenty-five years (yeah, I know I am revealing my age here, grin),  more former students and colleagues and also many from our DPN protest days.

Yesterday when I went back on campus for four hours, not only did I met more of my old students, I also saw more of my classmates, colleagues and DPN protesters

Also, during these three visits, I met the student leaders and many protesters that I’ve never met, but spoke with and worked with on the Internet. Even though we have never met in person before, we experienced an immediate bond, strengthened by our fight for justice.

The protest brought the Deaf Community closer.

  2. Many, many thanks for all you did. Perhaps one day we, the collective body of the Deaf-World, will be able to say “thank you” in person.
