    12: Honoring My Dad

    Six years ago this week, a young person radicalized by anti-immigrant rhetoric, armed with an AR-15, entered a Walmart in El Paso. He murdered 23 human beings, and he physically injured another 22. He changed the lives of millions. On that same day, Stephanie Melendez's parents had volunteered to take her eldest daughter shopping. Stephanie's dad, David Johnson, saved the lives of his wife and granddaughter. He was one of the 23 killed at the Walmart in El Paso on a random day in the United States.   On today's episode of Shared Humanity: The Humans Behind the Headlines, Melendez remembers her father. She talks to host Nelba Márquez-Greene about how her family is doing in their "new regular" (with the help of a biker organization), coping with a mass tragedy motivated by hatred, and how she talks to her children about what happened.   When asked how we can best honor her dad, Melendez said, "Just be kind and don't forget."   Listen to their full conversation now wherever you get your podcasts.   Link from this episode: https://guardiansofthechildren.com/   Learn more about Shared Humanity: https://sph.yale.edu/sharedhumanity
