“While I and much of America grieved the murder of another unarmed black man by police, protestors took to the sites of confederate monuments to reject the violence and white supremacy embodied in these statues. These defiant acts of courage felt galvanizing and served as tangible evidence of a long overdue reckoning with systemic racial oppression. Meanwhile, standing in the White House Rose Garden, Donald Trump defended the confederacy declaring that, “We must build on our heritage not tear it down.” Cloaked with thin veils and echoed through dog whistles, these words charge me with the sense of urgency to vote them out!“
