Good afternoon,
I hope this email finds you well on this rainy & humid Thursday.
COVID-19 cases drop
here
, spike
there
, and persistent and pernicious symbols of treason fall across the land. I’m not confusing statues and symbols to be anywhere near as important as policy changes, but they are still welcome. A collective statement of positive civic values and
rejection
of a Confederate identity promoting racial supremacy is long overdue. Doubly so when one considers the lack of contrasting symbols reminding us of the horrors of the slavery that the Confederacy wanted to maintain.
NASCAR
is not my thing, but I do care that this significant cultural institution finally decouples from an emblem of slavery, which has been celebrated under the guise of ”culture.”
Anyway, well above the Mason-Dixon line, but below my email signature, there are items of interest that I’d recommend checking out. If not, no problem, and enjoy the rest of your day.
