"I think for the first time all of us, no matter what we look like or where we're from, we can see so clearly what injustice looks like." - Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys had a message for graduates in the "Dear Class of 2020" YouTube special.  A lot of what she said is important for everyone to hear, not just graduating students.

"I think for the first time all of us, no matter what we look like or where we're from, we can see so clearly what injustice looks like.  Now we all can choose how to respond.  But change only happens if all of us educate ourselves, if we hold each other accountable.  When we register to vote and make sure our voices are heard in November. When all of us recognize our biases and we find ways to empathize with people that you know, look different from us or seem different from us on the surface.  That's the key, right there.  Empathize with those that seem different on the surface."  You can watch her whole message from "Dear Class of 2020" in the video below.
