Oh yes! I need to remember to bring that one up and tell the story. I'm pretty sure I can think of others, but it's always useful to have a little pre-considered list of historical moments that inspire and invoke solidarity moving forward. (Of course there are also plenty of historical moments that invoke pain and infighting; those are to be honored and remembered, but perhaps as an example to be avoided in favor of the more positive moments which can be burnished with pride and used as an example to be emulated.)

History is all about the stories we tell ourselves about things that happened, you know? And those things that happened are, well, happening every day still--just like the withdrawal from the International Lacrosse tournament. We write our own histories, every day.
