The Anti-Defamation League’s annual Walk Against Hate was on Sunday, Oct. 29 at 8:30 a.m. at Klyde Warren Park.

“Greenhill has done projects with them for decades,” Associate Head of School for Mission, Community, and Culture Tom Perryman ’81 said. “When I was Head of Lower School, we did projects with the ADL. They’re a very important national organization that believes in the things we believe in.”

The ADL is an anti-hate organization, founded in 1913. According to their website, their mission is “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.”

Many Greenhill families are involved on a local level with ADL, and six years ago, Greenhill was invited to join by a friend of Perryman.

“[My friend] was going to chair the walk that year, and she asked me if Greenhill would be interested,” Perryman said.

US Spanish teacher Jacobo Luna-Cruz has been attending this walk to help bring awareness to those who are suffering.

“We want to make sure that hate stops,” Luna-Cruz said. “We wanted to be visible. We want people to know that we are coming from Greenhill and that we wanted to be there.”

Many teachers have walked previously, and Luna-Cruz was enthusiastic about participating again.

“Mr. Perryman sent an email invite and said there’s a walk coming back again, and [asked if I’d] like to participate. I was like ‘Of course I do,’” Luna-Cruz said.
