I Wtk Who Is Your Hero Or Heroine and Why

Heather Heyer, 32, (left) was protesting hate-fueled white supremacist march in Charlottesville on Saturday when James Alex Fields Jr, (inset, and top right, circled at the protest) of Maumee, Ohio, plowed his vehicle into the crowd killing her and injuring 19 others. Fields Jr, who is being held at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail, has since been charged with second-degree murder. '[b]She died doing what was right[/b]. My heart is broken, but I am forever proud of her,' Heyer's mother, who has not been named, wrote on a GoFundMe Page set up for the family.

Ms. Heyer is this century's Viola Luizzo and her death, sadly may yet wake people up who consider white supremacy "not my problem" the same way Mrs. Luizzo's murder woke many people up during the Civil Rights era. It takes courage to fight back when the foot is on your neck, but it takes a special person to leave comfort and privilege and go stand up for what is right.

hi bijouxbroussard
it is true what you say.
I recall the murder of British Labour MP Jo Cox and thought the same things Such bright young women.
It is beholden on us all to do something.
Best wishes
