The Moral Monday Movement Continues...

Have you heard of Moral Monday and Witness Wednesday in the state of North Carolina?

These catchy names are apart of a conglomerate of social activist's, uniting as one to be a powerful force against the Republican North Carolina legislature. These individuals first came together two months ago during a non-violent protest against the state's restrictive laws passed on voting rights -- among other issues. 

Questions have surfaced about the youth in North Carolina, and why their approach to protesting is literally null and void? 

I'd like to think that it isn't done on purpose. I'd like to believe that due to fear of losing employment, housing, or retaliation in general of any kind would be the reason for stagnation. 

Furthermore, it must be brought to attention that many of our youth aren't familiar with the history of our country, so it isn't difficult to understand their disconnection to the past -- but it is our responsibility to teach it to them. If we do not know ourselves, then it's our responsibility to learn our history. We can't just wait for someone to come along and tell us about it, and even then you must still research to make sure their rhetoric was indeed fact. 

We're all here for a reason and history tells us why.

So I found this great site called the North Carolina Integrity Project, where if you reside in North Carolina, you can volunteer time to help the Moral Monday and Witness Wednesday movements. Check it out here.
