No, sir, I believe this is the ending of pretending it isn’t a racist country.
We seem to be knocking down every false image, curtain, and wall we built over the last 25O years to hide our racism. I haven’t got a clue how this ends.

I’m 8O. I saw the beginnings of this revolution. I I don’t expect to see the end, but I pray and hope that that it really does arc towards justice.
