I just read your contribution to the opinion forum called Black and White in the current weekly.
I am thrilled by what you wrote. I agree with you completely. I’m at old white guy, but I grew up a lot in Washington DC, going to an elite Catholic high School near the capitol. I have seen how it is enough. I can envision how it could be. I just needed to recognize the truth in what you wrote. Thank you.
