Peggy Wallace Kennedy has spent her whole life trying to overcome the legacy of segregation that her father has left behind. She was only 12 when she heard him deliver his address on "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever". Peggy did not endorse her father's politics who had much more power than her since he was the governor for so long, so it had been hard for her to "break away from the crowd" as she said in her speech. In addition to the position she takes on segregation, I thought the act of her going against her parents is also extremely courageous because it is going against everything about her childhood and life growing up in the governor's mansion. The thing that stuck with me the most was her story about the two girls holding hands, since the way she recounted it was very powerful and provided deeper insight into how much she cares about this and how much it means to her since she was able to experience something so amazing firsthand.
