You are one of the most important writers of our time because your words, if taken with the seriousness they demand, will work to save generations. History in this country is very clear, consistent, and offers no surprises, twists, or turns. It repeats itself, leaving a blueprint for what is to come for future generations. I've spoken a great deal about allyship trying desperately to believe in even a iota of change, but history does not lie. It's all been written or passed down through oral history. I've said it before - your articles should be REQUIRED READING for Black folk. Thank you for constantly ringing the alarm.
