These days “Millennials” take a lot of flak from older generations, but some of them are mature and attentive to the world around them – in ways I certainly never was as a teenager. Identical twins Andrew and Isaac Schlager are self-aware and zealous about matters pertaining to social justice, which they demonstrate in both word and action. As a member of that “older generation,” I see myself as both their teacher and student. In fact, they took my class as high school freshmen. Now, they’re seniors eyeing college. Together we find ourselves working toward a common goal of equality for all, elusive though it may be.

Music: “Brother, What Happened?” by Muddy Magnolias from their debut album Broken People. Available on iTunes.
