“It's on everything. And you're like, oh, my gosh, the world's on fire. But only one thing happened. And what we do lose is just this perspective of growth. What I find fascinating at West Point is our barracks. There are named after famous generals and former presidents like Eisenhower and Grant. There's a MacArthur Barracks and many others. And of course, there's a Robert E. Lee barracks. Now, I spent a semester living in Robert E. Lee barracks, which I found fascinating because here I am living in the building named after a man who fought against the rights of people who looked like me.” (17:19–17:33)
