“"In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory. It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don’t shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren’t damaged; they’re strengthened, matured, humbled. US needs to do same re slavery. Not that complicated.”

"ESQ: But aren't you the ones who are getting hurt the most?

"JAMES BALDWIN: No, we are only the ones who are dying fastest."
