Hanging Out at the Wall of Free Speech

Monica Snellings, John Hunter and DK Holland in front of the Wall of Free Speech in Charlottesville, VA in May

DK Holland

Monica and I had dinner in Charlottesville with our gracious host, John Hunter on the historic mall. Charlottesville is home to the University of Virginia which was founded by Thomas Jefferson so the Wall of Free Speech has even greater meaning because of its proximity to the school and to the many students who express their profound and mundane thoughts equally in bright, bold colors. But there in front of the wall — without any chalk — so we could not add our two cents to these pithy messages. We’ll just have to go back (and we’re making chalk a part of our travel kit — permanently!)
