Abstract
A pair of legs that breathe in
Strong feet that has cross endless borders
Hands that have cultivated millions of trees
For you to take away the fruit
Traveling on the path of the wind
Coming without warning
Each day had begun enthusiastically and happily
Even though they hate us because we represent dreams of aspiration
Of being something more than just work labor
Of daring to dream as brown and poor [excerpt]

Surge is a student blog at Gettysburg College where systemic issues of justice matter. Posts are originally published at surgegettysburg.wordpress.com Through stories and reflection, these blog entries relate personal experiences to larger issues of equity, demonstrating that –isms are structural problems, not actions defined by individual prejudice. We intend to popularize justice, helping each other to recognize our biases and unlearn the untruths.
