The Times: On Aug. 8, The Times printed an article by John Burgess, who recounted the emotions he felt whUe visiting Hiroshima, where the nuclear bomb was first use<!. He tells of the horrible destruction let loose, which leveled the city in an hour and killed 140,000 in four months. He called it "the day an enormous evil was brought into our world," and the day the world "lost tts virginity." No new evil was introduced to mankind that day. Only a new machine bringing more carnage. I am not writing to belittle the horrors of the first atom bomb. However, if Mr. Burgess thought these horrors were new to Earth, he must look beyond Hiroshima. In 1945, American and Eng­ lish planes firebombed the city of Dresden, Germany. This is one or our better-hidden atrocities. The bombs were dropped, resulting in the death of 135,000 people in two months. I am not yet out of high school, and I shudder when I think of the responsibility my generation will face when it inherits the nudear legacy. Yet 1 bear no grudge against Einstein or Oppenheimer or the other creators or the atom bomb. The bomb simply makes us more efficient at killing each other. Yes, as Mr. Burgess said, hell is not the split atom, or gunpowder, or the spear. That hell ts our willingness to use these weapons on others. That hell ts us. - Andrew BlackweJJ, Seattle Each month, The Seaute Times' editorial staff selects the bet;t letter to the editor.

In this room today, over 1,000 business and community leaders will see proof of our scholars’ courage and commitment as we celebrate their achievements and are moved by their stories. We cheer their college choices and applaud their college degrees, knowing they will make a positive impact as engaged citizens and leaders in this world. Thank you for believing in our scholars from the very J’Kela Smith Union College start – and for matching their hard work and hopeful Class of 2017 spirits with access, opportunity and choice.

  • 2018 Social Justice Day Schedule and Speakers
    2018 SOCIAL JUSTICE DAY SCHEDULE AND SPEAKERS WELCOME FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL We are pleased to host our 6th Annual Social Justice Day at University Prep. As we did last year, we offer a conference-style experience for our student participants, who have the opportunity to attend sessions based on their interests. This format has galvanized our faculty and staff to step forward to design and lead a wide range of thought-provoking sessions with the goal of creating a safe space for critical analysis and conversation on contemporary social justice topics. On Social Justice Day, we suspend regular academic classes so that every member of our community is able to lean in and engage in dialogue to promote deeper understanding of identities and issues. Ijeoma Oluo, our keynote speaker and the author of the recently released So You Want To Talk About Race, will launch the day in the Gym and help to set the stage for dialogue. Her new book brings together personal experiences with poignant anecdotes to position us to gain greater insight into and understanding of how to engage in dialogue on difficult topics and issues. Our hope is that Social Justice Day unites our community around our Mission, Vision, and Values and challenges us to enter into critical analysis and dialogue. Sincerely, Matt Levinson Head of School p1 | University Prep | Social Justice Day | March 13, 2018 WELCOME FROM THE DIVERSITY AND COMMUNITY OFFICE Welcome to the UPrep 6th Annual Social Justice Day! Social Justice Day has quickly grown to be one of the hallmark events at University Prep.
