Thank you, Teri @Teri_Kanefield! (And thank you Chuck @ATurnOfTheNut!) I hadn't read Stephanie Jones' writing until now. She's great. Her writing really gets you, right in your heart.
@outer@Teri_Kanefield@ATurnOfTheNut Thanks for sharing. I read her entire blogpost and found it be so affecting. It was great.

But her dad’s philosophy was just like my mom’s and my grand-parents’: we’ve been through the worst of oppression, but never gave up. Don’t you give up either, as the next generation. @blackmastodon#blackmastodon
