I was naïve: totally unaware of pervasive racial oppression and an ever-present threat of violence that lay just below the surface, waiting to burst forth against children who didn’t look like me. I grew up in green, suburban neighborhoods running with my friends and blissfully unaware of how my country treated so many who did not enjoy our privileges and freedoms. ![]() Things I took for granted were legally denied to Black citizens, but this was not in any way part of my experience.
