Please help us wish Morganne a very Happy Birthday!!!

Hello everybody! Ancient City Toby the T-Rex here. It’s so wonderful to be out and about and see our town come back to life. I’ve been visiting a ton of attractions and making new friends, so be on the lookout for new videos soon.
However...I noticed that my mom became very sad about a week ago. I tried to be goofy and cheer her up; I even gave her my very favorite rock that I found at the Mission grounds, but nothing seemed to help. One evening, she sat me down and explained why she was so sad. She told me about a man named George. She said that because of what happened to him, that people are hurting and angry and that they are working very hard to help our nation change. I told her that I wanted to help. To be honest, I don’t understand a lot of the things she tried to explain. I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t love each other. I don’t understand why we can’t all play nice together. I don’t understand why we don’t help each other every chance we get. Mom asked me if I remembered the other dinosaurs treating me differently because I’m red, and not brown or green like all of them. Of course I remember, it hurt a million times more than when I skin my knee or bump my head. I don’t want anyone to ever feel like that.
I know I’m just a tiny, 10 year old dinosaur, but there has to be something I can do. I begged my mom to figure out a way for me to show people love. She told me that the best way to learn was to listen. Not just with my ears, but with my heart. She also told me that no matter how hard I tried, I would never fully understand because I hadn’t walked in their shoes. I might not completely understand, but I can be completely compassionate. She told me that if I wanted to help things change, that I needed to look each person in the eye and tell them: Please don’t walk behind me, I don’t want to lead. Please don’t walk ahead of me, I might get lost trying to follow. Please walk beside me so that whatever we face, we can get through it together.
Over the weekend, Mom took me downtown to show me a protest. She wanted me to see how people were standing up for George—for everyone—who had ever been hurt. I wanted to learn how to help make a difference, too, and I knew this would be my chance. I knew that if I watched the actions of the big people, I could learn how to behave as well. But I was worried. What if things got scary? What if people yelled at me? If I got lost in the crowd, would someone help me? However, when I got there, what I saw was beautiful. There were boys and girls, men and women, policemen and firemen, all talking and sharing and working together to make our town and our world better. I’ve never been more proud of our town. Saint Augustine, you are amazing.
My mom told me that this wasn’t the first protest to take place in our town. She told me that several years ago, Saint Augustine was involved in a protest that changed the entire country and that it involved one of my all-time favorite people, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr! She and I went all over Lincolnville to learn about what happened when Dr. King was here and to see all of the places that he visited. I have so much to share with you all, and Mom and I are working on that right now. Thank you for letting me talk with you today. Thank you for working together. Thank you for your love. #STAstrong -Toby ♥️ 🦖
