Summary
In America, our deepest wounds rarely heal because the wrongs that have been done here are rarely made right.
Verbal apologies are rare when it comes to racial injustice in this country, but anyone who thinks a verbal apology is enough is sorely mistaken.

Now, let's see it duplicated in every city, county, and state in America.
