RE: The world has built a wall around us. Posted Monday, March 15, 2021 04:22 PM "I remember standing in front of a display at The National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. The photos in front of me were of lynchings. Black men being killed for no reason other than their skin color. In the photos, those doing the killing, looked like me. Many, even some small children, looked jubilant. Some of the men wore white hoods and robes. Families were picnicking. "Standing alongside me was an African American husband and wife, fellow sojourners on a week long Justice Journey through the Civil Rights sites in the South. As we looked at the pictures they began to tremble and weep. They were experiencing the exhibit in the deepest places of their being, mourning losses, agonizing over the experiences of their ancestors. "I experienced deep anger. I was mad at white people who thought a lynching was a perfect place to take a picnic and watch another human being destroyed. I wondered if I would have had the courage to stand against such horror. "Some may say, 'That was then, this is now,' but I can't let it go. The hate that was at the root of the problem back then is still with us today and keeps playing itself out in awful ways. People of color are still weeping and trembling and too many white people are still justifying their indifference to discussions of race that make them uncomfortable." |

The world has built a wall around us. Posted Wednesday, March 17, 2021 12:30 PM Changes to how elections are run resulted in a record number of people voting in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. PROBLEM: There is NO evidence that making it easier for people to vote leads to more fraud. More people voting does NOT jeopardize election integrity. Republican legislators and GOP governors are working to make a fortress of the wall that obstructs access to the polls, and make it even more cumbersome for some to vote. *Interesting to know that some countries require citizens to vote (and fine those who don't). |
