“We can’t eradicate what happened,” Steinmetz said. “We can shed a light on it and learn from it and say ‘that’s not what we want to be today.’ We don’t want to persecute people and call them names. It shines a light on what happens when we call out people for those things. I hope we learn and can change.”
