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.

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~.

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…
