It’s hard to overcome your history

Taylor Hern
Harrison, AR

I was raised a white person in a very, very, very white town in Arkansas with a reputation of hanging people off bridges. A lot of people use the N word or use other out dated (or flat out offensively) terms when referring to African Americans or other minorities. Overcoming that stereotype of a typical red neck racist is so.important to me to make everybody feel safe and at home here in the Ozarks.
