So yesterday, I was just kind of trolling around on Twitter as per our usual arrangement.

0:31.7

And I came across this insane display from the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

0:37.7

And it really does speak to our bizarre cultural moment because the fact is that the new

0:41.2

anti-racist movement, the sort of Ibram Kendi, Robin DiAngelo, anti-racism movement that has
