And, in the context of the civil rights movement, when significant numbers of the White students who joined Freedom Summer were Jewish, the alliance with Black people placed their Whiteness in further jeopardy."

"All of our kids are coming of age in a society in crisis. And certain antisocial forces—the ones who make and sell and protect guns, the ones who reject knowledge, the ones who believe that their homes are castles but make terrible rules for other peoples’ bodies, the ones who believe that some of us are ordained to inferiority and vote that way—are trying their darndest to prevent all of our children from growing up and maturing into the kind of people who can make this democracy functional. And people keep putting them in power." #ImaniPerry in The Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/04/ralph-yarl-shooting-kansas-city-recovering/673755/?ref=unsettled-territory

Found it!
Racism Is Terrible. Blackness Is Not.
So many people taught us to be more than the hatred heaped upon us.
