RT4: A Modest Experiment, Proposed
Sick-day Chris here, reading Facebook. The article below, originally posted by Karyn Hunt, is a great invitation to join the race conversation. Frankly, if you live in the USA and don’t speak out against racism, I fear for you. There are two many people among my parents’ generation who probably never spoke out, either, and … Continue reading
RT2: Best. Birthday. Ever.
