Just this past weekend, I received another crime warning email from the UW Madison police department with the subject line, "Man with knife." Not really what you want to see, right? Well, just weeks before in my dorm, Sellery Hall, swastikas were drawn on the door of a Jewish boy. According to the university, there were 22 incidents of hate crimes reported last semester and not just for anti-Semitic crimes. Even more recently, a student was arrested in the middle of his his Afro-American Studies class in front of his professor and his classmates for allegedly spray-painting anti-racist messages across campus. This has stirred the begging question, are the police prompting that the university cares more about graffiti than bigotry?

With all of the hate going on in the world, it is important that we shed light on the positivity that exists as well. Here are some genuine, random acts of kindness that will remind you that good does really exist.
