Like I said I was going to do, I went into the Somali Community today and had a very nice conversation with a man who came here as a student in the 70's. I found his generosity with talk to be very enlightening. He explained to me the biases that they deal with on a daily basis and the fact that they have contributed to a thriving downtown that used to be all shuttered. He also told me that the only help he received from the government was a one way ticket to the US. I intend to go back again and will post my experiences . Everyone I met was congenial and welcoming. We have to move past generalizations of groups and learn about each other, only then will we progress!
And by the way, I filed my papers today and I am officially a candidate! May peace be with you. #Resist2018 dennismoconnor.com Comments are closed.
