I was so excited when I got invited to speak at Moral Monday in Alamance County [on October 28] . I was glad to have the opportunity to show other young people that if they pay attention and take action, they could make a difference.
Having been to previous Moral Mondays in Raleigh, Asheville, Charlotte, and Greensboro, I sort of knew what to expect. What I didn't expect was for so many people to show up right in my own little hometown. There were over 500 people at the event. The main organizer, Noah Read of Burlington, did a fantastic job of arranging and publicizing the event along with the Alamance County NAACP.
