I used to wonder...

When I think about the genocide of the first peoples…
When I think about slavery of Africans...
When I think about racism and lynching’s…
When I think about the slaughter of nature and animals…

I would wonder how could this have happened?

All I have to do is look at the present and I see my answer.

It takes some research, but the stories you mention are still out there.

And, yes, racial equity has not been 'solved' in hardly any sense. Inroads have been made, but the Trump movement has exposed the evil underbelly that our country has been trying to look away from.

Racism is real.

Racism is stil very much out there.

Racism endangers lives.
