Inspirational Signs from the Women's March
J. Conrad Williams Jr.

January 20th was a day of transitions for the United States. It received the attention of people across the world. January 21st was a day of perseverance for the nation. It too received the attention of people across the world. On January 20th, fewer people attended than what was expected. On January 21st, many more attended than what was expected. January 20th was the presidential inauguration. January 21st was the Women's March. The day after Donald Trump became President of the United States, millions of people took to the streets in support of women's rights, racial justice, LGBTQ rights, and a multitude of other causes. People marched in Chicago, in Cape Town, in Los Angeles, in London, in Arizona and Antarctica. They marched for themselves, for their friends, for their family, for their neighbors, for their peers. And with them, they carried signs. These signs represented their frustration, their hope for the future, and their freedom of speech. Here are some, of millions, that truly stood out.

1. "My neck, my back, my pussy will grab back"

A clever twist on Khia's famous song

2. "Love not hate makes America great"

The true way that slogan should go

3. "Grow a pair" *written over an image of a uterus

A classic saying, but instead, focusing on the power of women

4. "Ninety, Nasty, and Not giving up"

Fighting for all generations

5. "Super callous, fascist, racist, extra braggadocios"

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!" - Marry Poppins

6. "I do not like you down my shirt. I do not like you up my skirt. I do not like you near my rump. I do not like you Mr. Trump"

The grown-up version of Dr. Seuss

7. " Think before you tweet"

A simple, but important lesson

8. "Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can..."

A reminder to not "fight fire with fire"

9. "Here's to strong women. May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them. Today we march in solidarity"

The reason we march

10. "Alone we are invisible, together we are invincible"

The power of words, no matter the language

11. "So my daughter can...

Marching for the next generation

12. "Stronger together"

A true representation of America

13. "Marched 40 years ago for: women's equality and reproductive rights. Still here!"

Never stop marching for what is right

14. "I'm with them"

A united front

15. "You are not powerless"

A reminder to us all

So keep on marching, keep on sharing powerful signs, and keep on fighting for what you believe in.

And if you're looking for more, watch this group of women inspire us all.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
