There's reason to think that we are on the precipice of change.
But wherever human beings are, we at least have a chance.
Because we're not only disasters, we're also miracles.
We have to risk everything to be otherwise.
We have to figure out how to be together differently.
I don't want to see another generation of Americans having to bear the burden of this lie.
To use an image that Baldwin used, we're all midwives trying to give birth to a new America.
In the past, every time we came to the moment in which the new America could be born, white supremacy was the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby's neck.
And we let it snuff the life out of him.
Let's be better midwives as we try to be better people.
