The Guardian for this meeting was Riddle Sideways. The comments are by Riddle Sideways.

   Imagine if you will, being 18 years old in a very hard year named 1968.  The year starts with the murder of Rev. Martin Luther King by hate!
    How would a person grow from there?

Adams Rubble: I think that is what I learned doing this project
Adams Rubble: we can learn from MLK
Riddle Sideways: Hey, that is a good formula, let's do it.

Riddle Sideways: there are dozens of youTubes of (supposedly) little people that are almost wise doing an everyday kindness
