Hi David. Thank you for reading. To understand why I and so many other Black Americans feel the way we do, please watch the 1619 project streaming on Hulu. Please pay close attention to episodes 5 (Fear) and 6 (Justice). There isn’t enough room here to explain why all Whites need to take an active role in atonement, but the documentary is a clear, succinct explanation that helps to remove any ambiguity Whites feel about this subject.
