An Epiphany
Jason remembers looking at all those influential figures on the walls of the Busboys and Poets establishment and thinking about how the inauguration and the Women’s March coincided, and being inspired as for him, these were two examples of people expressing their American values. Suddenly, Jason was thinking in new ways that he had never considered before. It seemed like there was so much for him to learn from the living and departed figures in this world.
Shared Values
Influenced also by being a devout Christian, Jason felt these two events represented the very foundation of what it meant to be American. He also said that he was so moved when he watched the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, thinking about how, no matter who the president is and regardless of politics, they perform the same 21-step tradition. America had changed so much in just a few years, and Jason was doing his best to keep up.
