Thank you.
People, workers, lived here.
They were gunned down fighting for a better life.
There's a tendency in all of us to lionize our dead,
to make martyrs and angels out of victims of injustice.
It gives us distance.
It blurs their faces.
It makes them an ideal
rather than a group of living, breathing,
smoking, swearing, and sexing human beings,
just like us.
Our mother Trudy is buried here.
[ Tru cooing ]
And for my mother, for my family,
for all the families of those buried here,
I thank you, and I implore you
to listen to what they want.
Where they want to stay buried.
Listen.
