Durham and the Bulls for the Win

Lynn and Logan wanted to go to the Bulls so off we went tonight. It’s terrible we don’t go more as season ticket holders since the start. It was hot, but we were in the shade.

The national anthem was sung by a children’s choir from a local church. There must have been at least 40 of them. Boys in matching striped shirts with jeans (heavens to betsy jeans in 95° weather) and the girls in blue and white matching dresses with white bows in their hair.

They were a multicultural crowd of children of every color of the rainbow and they strongly sang the national anthem proudly. My first thought was I pray ICE was not in the house. My second was, this is exactly what American should stand for. The proudest Americans are the newest Americans. People work so hard to become American, or they used too, because they saw this as a land of opportunity. Not a place that snatches up people off the street based on their skin color and drags them to a dangerous concentration camp.

I hope that Durham continues to be a place where young children can feel safe, no matter how long their people have been here.

The kids stayed and watched the game which was very exciting. The Bulls won with three single home runs, locking out the jumbo shrimp of Jacksonville. Durham wins not just in Baseball, but in compassion.
