Jedediah Schultz, an interview subject and eventual character in The Laramie Project, recently wrote an article reflecting on his involvement and experience with the play. He is quoted as saying "A city, like a person, contains beauty and ugliness and is ultimately much, much more than a single tragic moment in time." I think this is incredibly crucial to remember, now and always. We must remember all the facets of Laramie, of Matthew, of the perpetrators Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson, of the notorious Fred Phelps, of Montclair State University, of ourselves, of the world. Yoko Ono says "we are all on the same page." To share my personal opinion, I do not believe in good people and bad people. I believe in people.
