This moment in history could be a moment of transformation and change. Racism has to be crushed NOW and forever, and ALL people must be treated equal. It’s time for affirmative action. Let’s take our stand.

Global crises, including this #COVID19 pandemic, have the power to either bring the world closer together in response to a common threat, or drive us further apart by bringing out our most nativist and provincial impulses. sojo.net/articles/test-globa…
