<span style="line-height: 32px; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0.5in;">“If we don’t care about our past we can’t have very much hope for our future,” she said into a bank of microphones and over the din of flashbulbs popping. “We’ve all heard that it’s too late, or that it has to happen, that it’s inevitable.
