Benjamin Watson Quote
The problem of race is deep and wide and requires seismic change. But if we look to government to solve it, we might as well feel hopeless. If we look corporate America to solve it, we’ll be waiting a long, long time. And if we agree with Ta-Nehisi Coates, who tentatively suggests that the only work that will matter, will be the work done by us, then we will truly despair, for we know how well that has worked. If we follow that track, we'll quickly add in disbelief, as he did, Or perhaps not.
