Dan Deacon Instagram – I saw an old video interview of James Baldwin that really helped to amplify the clarity of the situation right now. “What is it that you wanted me to reconcile myself to. I was born here more than 60 years ago. I’m not going to live another 60 years. You always told me that it’s going to take time. It’s taken my father’s time, my mother’s time, my uncle’s time, my brothers’ and my sisters’ time, my nieces and my nephew’s time. How much time do you want for your progress?” It made me realize that for my entire life there has been moments like this where unbridled, raw injustice and blatantly cruelty from the police towards black people has taken place. When and how will it end? What can I do to help end it? These questions I need to ask daily until they are answered and their answers acted upon.
