It sounds like the public speaking version of a basket on Chopped: a 7th grade class photo, an Irish poem, a book by Ta-Nehisi Coates, and a visit to Dachau. But somehow they all found their way into “Can Hope and History Rhyme?”, a talk I gave last week at Mounds Park Academy, the private school in suburban St. Paul that I attended from grades 3-12.
To be honest, I mostly care that one person sees this, since she’s mentioned repeatedly and couldn’t be there last week. Hope you’re reading, Ms. Conway!
