Dear Diary,
It’s 1970 and there are lots of really big things going on in the world, like the war in Vietnam. My older sister, Cecily, has been on protest marches, trying to get President Nixon to stop the war, but it feels like I’m too young to do anything about it. Or can I? Maybe to do something big, I need to do something small.
