'That black people still cannot be treated as equals and continue to be judged by the color of our skin in 2020 is shameful. And such biases exist far beyond America'
If this moment in history is to truly make a difference, education will be key. Black history is every bit as important to understanding our past as European history, yet many schools do not teach it in depth, in part because of the shame associated with it. For those that haven't grown up in our skin or in our communities, often the only way that they've learned about people of color is through movies, television shows, and the news. They already have biases based on what they've heard or what they've seen. It's an uncomfortable conversation for most white people to have, so they choose not to have it. But they don't care that we as black people are uncomfortable every single day.
