The Buffalo Ten “How do you find a place to hold a pain that’s larger than your body?... How do we sleep knowing that hate found a home in our city? In our sacred place… The grocery store, the church, the school, the playground. When does it end?... And though our hearts are tired, our feet will not grow weary. We will organize and strategize. Fighting for change until our very last breath…” -- Excerpt from “Unanswered questions” by Jillian Hanesworth, Buffalo’s first Poet Laureate From left to right:
