Kamala Harris becoming the first African American Vice President in the history of the United States fills me with hope for a future of racial equality and justice. A more diverse set of perspectives will improve in decision making, as it allows for better judgement in how all peoples are affected by it. It also represents how people of color and women can now have more and better opportunities in the workplace.

Something that gives me hope is education both in school and on the internet. There are so many resources that are available for free on the internet that provide information about racial justice and equality.

Something that gives me hope for a future of racial equality and justice is seeing so many organizations working to make change. There are lots of organizations you can donate to or volunteer at that are helping to make change for racial inequality.

My inspiration are the many authors that use literature to convey messages about racism. This is because it was shown that the first racist spread his false messages through literature, now these authors are spreading true information through literature as well.

The athlete activists in the WNBA inspire me because they are using their platform to stand up for racial justice. They were some of the first pro athletes in the US to organize themselves to publicly support Black Lives Matter campaign. - SAVAS
