CellyBlue: Henry Dee and Charles Moore -- two beautiful young men.
We must remember!
If we do not, we are doomed to repeat.
CellyBlue: I was born of a Walloon-Belgian (i.e., Francophone Belgian) woman who had suffered the occupation of our country through the Third Reich and in the process lost her dear mom to a cancer accelerated through the stress.
Being born in the late '40s, I was conscious of events throughout the '50s as a growing child.
I grew up where what you recount were frequent occurrences.
What you recount is tragic memory to me from the evening news with Walter Cronkite, CBS, and Chet Huntley and David Brinkley, NBC.
Thank you for keeping these flagrant murders and Governmental complicity before us.
These are not academic narratives. These are real events in our news during the '50s and '60s.
And they are not merely in the past.
When there is talk of "immigrants poisoning our blood", we are living in volatile and dangerous, racist times.
I am a 76-year-old white man. Part of MY cultural heritage, that I LOVE is Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, WEB DuBois, MLK, Medgar Evers . . . Richard Wright, Alice Walker, Zora Neale-Hurston, James Baldwin . . . Today's Jesmyn Ward -- a write of strong, poetic and beautiful spirituality.
I LOVE your column, including on other platforms, that explained 1619 and indentured servitude and later slavery and the evolutionary adaptation of dark skin and protective cells.
Yours is a voice I love to listen to and THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, SO VERY MUCH, INDEED, for sharing of your love and your moral convictions.
