I started going to the SPACE plays and you know they have a diversity of kids. They are Black, White, Mexican, Indian. And it seemed like every time I went to one of the SPACE plays, I’d walk out with dry tears on my cheek. It wasn’t tears of sadness; it was tears of joy because it was all kids doing the play. And they were telling the truth. And it felt so good to hear future generations telling the truth. And they weren’t denying nothing that has happened in the past to Native people, to Black people, to people of color and how this country was built.
