“So I say to you, walk with the wind, brothers and sisters, and let the spirit of peace and the power of everlasting love be your guide.” —Rep. John Lewis
At the end of 2022—after a year filled with both victories and continued struggles—we uplift this message of hope along with stories to share with young children. Loss and grief and numerous discriminatory policies negatively affected communities already experiencing undue pressure. At the same time, we saw fierce movements to protect our rights. A just society requires much of us all, so, as 2023 approaches, we must take care of ourselves and one another. We must remain hopeful about a better future, as the late John Lewis reminded us.
