My friend and fellow YouthPrise Board member Antonio Cardona writes about what it means for him to have seen the news that a volunteer firefighter, Brian Nielsen, decided to fly the Confederate Flag along the USA Flag during a town parade July 2015. Nielsen did say he does not see race; that the problem is political correctness.
The blog below is completely written by Antonio Cardona. Here's a snipet: "Growing up, I was in one of only a handful of Mexican families [in Albert Lea, MN] and now love seeing the increasing diversity showing up in my nieces' and nephews' class photos. It is for them that I hope the climate and awareness improves. That can only happen if those who create division are held accountable, people understand real histories, and we have the one on one conversations we need to have."
