America Speaks with Tish Lampert Tish Lampert

I have focused my lens on controversy since 1967. When I see a crowd amassing, placards waving, when I hear the sound of feet pounding the pavement, voices rising over each other, I feel an uncontrollable urge to be among them, to follow the momentum and capture the spirit that compels people to rise up. The adrenaline is addictive; it’s been in my blood since I first picked up a camera and marched for civil rights

In 2001, Americans felt disenfranchised after the presidential election of G.W.Bush. I was drawn in by the volatile mood that resulted from the Supreme Court’s decision. Before long I realized I was a player on this human stage, active and no longer just an observer. Marching with my fellow citizens enables me to share the anger and capture the frustrations of their struggle. My journey across America presented me with history in the making, as I carved my own path of discovery. I set out looking for that spark that energized my generation in the sixties and seventies, to come together for peace and love. We were idealistic back then.

After twenty years on the trail, our nation is still deeply polarized. We may be conflicted but we remain determined as we pass the torch to the next generation. I am left wondering if this next generation will have more empathy and tolerance for each other; be able put aside their differences to better shape their future.

Austin attorney Mike Hull is on a solo walk at the Texas-Mexico border

Hull started the trip on Boca Chica Beach and hopes to arrive in El Paso by Thanksgiving. With the “Walk of Hope” he wants to see whether the border is safe or not. He said he wants to see the face of fear and listen to the stories of asylum seekers and people who live along the border.

“I want to walk and listen, listen to the people along the border and see what they have to say,” Hull said. “People have been so nice (here), they have been welcoming and inviting, sharing experiences and very, very kind.”

Mike got the idea to do this after he read an article about one of the detention facilities for the children who come seeking asylum in the United States. He said he is very interested in that topic and even though he is not fluent in Spanish, he knows “enough to get in trouble.”

“I want to see how we treat the children. Are we proud of how we welcome those (who) come with their hope, who ask for our help?” he said in a statement about the walk. “I want to walk and listen and offer my hope.”
