"That the world needs the true account more than it needs your comfort. That freedom, fully inhabited, becomes responsibility—the responsibility to turn the light on and hold it steady, even when darkness pushes back."
I have a shirt that says “We will not be silent” in Arabic, English, and Hebrew. It may sound like a warning, but I wear it as a reminder, because snapping back to complicity is so very easy, so automatic, even if you’ve stepped out of line dozens of times.
May we follow the truth telling path blazed by Ida B. Wells. 👣🕯️
