I think I got this as a teen @ #TheHolocaustMuseum in DC when it opened in the 80’s. I’ve held onto this flimsy paper sticker through moves across the country and seven different homes. I think I knew I’d need it again 1 day. I wish I could make 1 million billboards. #CantBreathe #PastorNiemoller

This poem has always resonated. I used to teach it in my Lecturing days. There is huge power in simplicity … when the heart speaks it tends to tell things straight. #poetry #power #pastorniemoller #speakup #firsttheycameforthejews
