what is innocence?

I'm a Sociology and African American Studies double major and my entire activity in undergrad is to recognize social disparities and initiate solutions. With everything going on in the world and everything that has gone on, the task is often OVERWHELMING. Sitting in classes hearing dozens if not hundreds of factual stories of abuse, discrimination, inequality and other injustices. I'm not here to dispute who's right or wrong or even find causation for the heinous acts in history. I just want to share with you what has moved me, sometimes to tears and sometimes to action.

Below are some links to historical events that are social phenomenons.
