QUOTE FROM SUSAN BRO
"Since my daughter Heather Heyer's death two weeks ago I have committed myself to making her death count. That is why I am launching the Heather Heyer Foundation. I can think of no better platform to promote this foundation to the world than at the MTVs Video Music Awards. It's going to be an honor for me to be presenting the Best Fight the System award there tonight."
