Today I wear black.

I wear black for a man that I never met. A man who showed me it’s possible to evolve and shed outmoded beliefs and behaviors. A man that died over 50 years ago in the most horrific way. A man whose vision for a better America became my own.

His name was Robert F. Kennedy. Today, I wear black to mourn him.
