 "... We are responsible for recognizing that what happened in previous generations at the hands of or to people who look like us set the stage for the world we now live in and that what has gone before us grants us advantages or burdens through no effort or fault of our own, gains or deficits that others who do not look like us often do not share.

We are responsible for our own ignorance or, with time and openhearted enlightenment, our own wisdom... And will be judged accordingly by succeeding generations."


Honestly, this should be required reading.
Some things I knew, in part, but were greatly expanded on.
Some things that were brand new to me.
Some things I never would have considered.
