Words have power. The 2016 US election and the 45th presidency changed our nation and me; I was angry and galvanized to act and speak out. Words and quotations on a brick and cement wall, easily read and in the background, emphasize the call to action. The edges are raw and frayed, like our nerves and emotions. In the power of these words is the optimism they express that finally enough people are mobilizing to make a change that will endure.
