The post-George Floyd racial reckoning in America was forged in the fires of generational frustration and boomeranged into a weapon of crass destruction, igniting passionate political actions in all quadrants of the country, and especially in the South.
Yet, viewing slavery-related racial reckoning as a mostly Southern problem while glazing over the history of slavery and racial injustice in the North, and specifically in Brooklyn, is a mistake. I say that from an experience that still makes me feel angry and embarrassed.
