Thanks for forwarding this clip, Ron. I am almost shaking in my boots. Very much affected by her pain, honesty, rightful indignation, clarity, reference to how when blacks were so succesful in those two places I had never heard of, how these were destroyed
by whites. I am learning anew about asking "Why", not "What" and the monopoly game--masterfully illustrated. I felt like I was drowning, gasping for air. Fortunately I'd also just listened to Obama and other young leaders, which left me with some hope.</div>

<div class="">~~~~~We are just coming out of a week of incredible unrest across the country ~~ I just heard that the rioting and looting is slowing down but that does not mean there are as yet any solutions to unrest or changes in the mindset of racism~!
All of this is happening in midst of the Pandemic that has spread around the World ~~~ and if this is not enough there is political unrest as well~. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">~ This clip below is exceptionally powerful and to the point ~~~ I know that all of this has sent currents of unrest throughout the World with thousands of protesters in cities filling streets~. There are very good reasons and this woman tells
it like it is from a very deep emotional state~~~~This is a deep issue in my cellular tissue as well ~~~ I marched for civil rights in the 60’s in support of Martin Luther King like many others ~~ I did civil rights work in the South and narrowly escaped with
my life in Macon County, NC when the vigilante committee came to teach us a lesson… </div>
