Our history is set apart.

The night of the massacre, I was awakened by my family. My parents and five siblings were there. I was told we had to leave and that was it. I will never forget the violence of the White mob when we left our home,” she said, “I still see Black men being shot, Black bodies lying in the street. I still smell smoke and see fire. I still see Black businesses being burned. I still hear airplanes flying overhead. I hear the screams. — Viola Fletcher (Brown, 2021)

Our history is set apart. But so are our ongoing corrective measures. May the forces be with us as we go forth with restoring human and inhuman justice across places and people.
