In response to Christopher Keelty's article about wearing safety pins (Google: Christopher Keelty safety pins), this is what I did. I went to Walmart and engraved this tag on an engraving vending machine and attached it to a chain with a safety pin to wear as a necklace. I acknowledge my own lack of experience of being anyone besides a minister's daughter having grown up in white, evangelical Christian America. It was a great place to grow up except for the fact that it obviously did not include a lot of other people. I want to listen more intently than I ever have before and learn and grow and offer help more seriously than I ever have before. It just seems more necessary now. Thank-you for your suggestions, Mr. Keelty.
