A friend recently shared early memories about their experiences of discrimination growing up in the mid 20th century segregated American south. Dismissive, demeaning memories. In some external ways since then society has become more inclusive, but hateful divisiveness persists.
In 2024 civil rights is on the national stage, again, and figuratively on the ballot. This time with more isms on the platform than in the 1960s. Although electoral politics may temporarily change behaviors, they will not change underlying attitudes.
For many disengaged, disenfranchised, disheartened Americans, this election cycle the democratic presidential ticket offers hope. Hope can move mountains. Hope builds community.
Help One Person Every day. For community.
