#our generation

I do think that some of us began to realize that this was going to be a long struggle that was going to go on for decades, and you'd have to knuckle down. A lot of people in our generation did that. They didn't drop out and run away. ↗

But you see, our society is still trapped in this binary, black/white logic and that has had some very positive implications for our generation.
