" The paper says the whole world is on fire. But this street is quiet... "
I hope as things start to feel a little less raw, we don't forget the way the last week has felt. The anger may fade, and so might your shame, but the determination to fix things should not fall from your conscious. Continue to provide support and messaging in the ways that you can. Continue to support businesses owned and operated by people of color. Continue to donate, and keep these issues front of mind when you vote in November and every opportunity after that. The establishments that are in power in this country want you to feel satiated and content again so that they can continue business as normal. Our attention span is one of the largest threats to equality and justice in this country.
This photo challenge is a selfish endeavor. It's solely about myself and my goals. This hasn't been the time for me to focus on me, and I shouldn't be trying to make myself the center of attention. The world outside is much more important. This prompt was "Your Neighborhood".
