Looking forward

If I never see another “special” about Ku Klux Klan cross burnings or black and white film footage of firehoses mowing down black people in the streets, it’ll be too soon.

At the start of Black History month, La Shawn Barber writes pointedly, How About Strengthening Black Families Month?"

We can reflect on the importance and necessity of strong families to the well-being of black children, the black community, and the entire nation.

She's right of course.  Nothing can be more important to the black community looking forward and not just looking back.
