All of this. So wise and real and yes, dare we say it, hopeful. In addition to the individualistic performance/sincerity fine line of anti racism, there was the corporate one. Remembering McDonalds' instagram posts where they just said "Black Lives Matter" in yellow and red while employees of color protested outside of the McDonald's down the street from me because they were working in unsafe, inhumane conditions. Yuck. And I would argue November 2nd-November 7th was at least two months long :)
Thank you, Garrett. This is all very well said, and particularly important to push forward a tiny bit the stories of people actually working toward the collective good without worrying about getting credit for it. No matter how small these efforts are, they start to show others a path that they, too, can take.
