My community wasn’t just a place where I lived and went to school- it was a family.…
My high school community is unique and incredible in that it is inclusive. It was the best decision of my life to attend Xaverian Brothers High school, despite what failures I encountered.

This anger is not misplaced, it’s 2016 and we still have to deal with homages to minstrel shows of the 19th and 20th centuries?…

A local T.V. station shows up at home games and at major sporting events to broadcast the game to everyone who would care to watch.…
