Take Back the Night

So, last night I went to see Take Back the Night. I honestly probably wouldnt have gone unless my sorority hadnt required me to. So I went. Going into this I didnt really know at all what it was about. But I then realized that it was about stopping violence against women. I really felt like I had been to a lot of stop the violence things this month. First with the Vagina Monologues and now Take Back the Night. The event first started with opening comments and then a couple of short speakers. One, specifically was by a woman, and I forget her name, but she read us something called "Stop This Madness" which was basically a cry out to stop the maddness of violence against women An award was presented to Dr. Ojo and that was really interesting to see because I had never seen her before but she was so happy and gave a really nice speech and so I liked her a lot. Then we had some poems read to us by some students. Two by Maya Angelou and one called "I Fight like a Girl" which was pretty intense. One was by a student who had written it herself. This was was very deep, because it was an actual recount of an event of domestic violence in her life. Then they concluded the ceremony with some remarks and we were let out. I really only went because I had to, but I wish that there had been more information about the presentation and what it was all about because I really would have liked to know more about it. But overall it was a decent presentation and I am really glad i went to see it.
