Blood at the Root

by LaDarrion Williams

Far too often, I would see the death of Black people and not life.

There’s no use in holding on to bad memories when you can make new ones.

Black lives can’t matter if all Black lives don’t.

We’ve had too much stolen from us already.

“People are often scared of what they don’t understand. Or they take something that’s extraordinary, and they try to snatch any and everything good about it.”

Just like they do with Blackness.
