| [14:50] | | [[Lucy Wilson]]'s parents didn't want her to watch the video, but she felt it was an important thing to see. It drove her to tears and it changed her outlook on [[racism]]. Lucy made a [[Black Lives Matter]] poster and attended a peaceful protest in [[Ogmore-by-Sea]] with [[Hobo Kostinen]]. [[Megan Kostinen|Hobo's mother]] told him to stay away from the protests due to the presence of dangerous elements. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[8.46 (short story)|8.46]]'') |
