Oh also final point, I promise! My Grandad understood something that I think is a big part of my own philosophy too: that people are made up of two things - atoms and stories. When your atoms break down, what's left is stories.
My Grandad wrote his memoirs and sent them to all his grandchildren. We'll pass them down to the next generation, and that way everyone gets to hear about his amazing life and his love for Granny.
Tell your stories. They're precious.

In anticipation of MLK day, it's good to start with a rereading of Letter from a Birmingham Jail.
The section on "white moderates" is particularly instructive.

The Bay Lights are one of my favorite art installations in the world. After 10 years, the lights are coming down due to need of repair.
I donβt live in San Francisco any more, but I just donated to the #TheBayLights360 project to illuminate both sides of the bridge with more durable lights.
