The article “The Political is Personal: Andrea Campbell’s Story of Change, Grief, and Hope” (September issue) deserves high praise. Her deeply personal and courageous journey immersed in systemic racism is beyond inspirational as she pursues a societal commitment “to do the tough work” of making comprehensive and meaningful changes. After all, it is deed, not simply creed, that offers hope for all of us. Andrea makes me so proud of being a Princetonian.

Editor’s note: Two weeks after PAW’s story was published, Andrea Campbell ’04 announced she would run for mayor of Boston in 2021.
