In the 1960s, Dion Diamond worked tirelessly for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). He was a student activist and field secretary in Maryland, Mississippi, Virginia and Alabama. What some may not know is that his noble efforts did not earn him the special honors and acknowledgements that he deserved, but instead, he was jailed on several occasions for working on behalf of the SNCC and the civil rights movement.
If Diamond and other students could persist through these unfavorable consequences to make our society better, can we not at least take a pledge? Take the pledge to spread the hope of IT GETS BETTER for LGBT teens.
Today Diamond is self-employed working as a financial advisor.
