In our @MBK_Alliance town hall yesterday, I mentioned James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time. From 1962, it remains a seminal meditation on race by one of our greatest writers and relevant for understanding the pain and anger behind the protests. Excerpt: https://t.co/50F9ZP3JhQ
"The way this young man died, watching the video, it made me so sad. It was so painful. It made me cry. I kept saying to myself, how many more? How many more young black men will be murdered? The madness must stop." — @RepJohnLewis on the death of George Floyd pic.twitter.com/tJ5mVfcmoZ
👏"The. Only. Wrong. Thing. To. Say. Is. To. Say. Nothing"
Brilliant & powerful speech by Meghan Markle. I love how raw & open she is about her speech being picked apart but put others before her fear. My respect for Duchess of Sussex has gone up another notch #BlackLivesMatterhttps://t.co/6Ik0UGn5kx
