1. The students at the school named for her

have taken that to heart.

2. A great quote for our time

right now as it were

[Wounded Bear]

6. Great quote for all times...

but especially now.

3. This is going on my Facebook page right NOW!

I have a good friend who’s really overwhelmed and depressed right now. She needs to see this. Thanks for posting!

4. I am going to share it on my Facebook page also.

Done.

5. What a sweet face!

She looks like Mrs. Magoo!

[Totally Tunsie]

7. How timely, in more ways than one.

8. Once I became aware of her (because of the shooting) I ordered her book about the Everglades.

9. Wow, they should name a school after here.

10. For anyone who wonders, Snopes gave this quote a thumbs up!

I also learned as I researched that she lived to be 108 years old, and was an all-around fascinating woman and lifelong activist.

11. NICE! Her words still resonate.

I bet she’d be proud of her students this year, especially.

I’m trying to keep track of David Hogg, Emma Gonzales, and Cameron Kasky. If one (or all) of them decides to run for office, I’m sending campaign donations!

12. YES!

I'm sick of people who don't want to be "bothered."

[Demovictory9]

13. powerful quote

[Raine]

14. Nice to see a quote from an environmentalist

especially during this horrendously hot summer, very inspirational.

15. She is one of my faves!

I watched a clip of her at a meeting. She was always impeccably dressed, hat, gloves, etc.
She got up to speak and the boos began. She just waited and looked at them.
After they calmed down enough for her to be heard, she said, “Boo louder!”

16. And her namesakes--MSD HS students--do her proud!

Kids like Emma Gonzalez, David Hogg and everybody at Never Again MSD!!!

17. It's hard not to give up. There are people who can persevere in the face of adversity.

And there are those who can't.

[Grammy23]

18. I needed to see this today!

Thank you for posting it!

19. I'll bet she was an awesome leader and democrat

I don't know whether Mrs. Douglas was active in the political arena, but it doesn't matter. She provided leadership and excellence in her own field, and that's what we all need to do.
