This is where my hope comes from. I believe the people coming up after us will do a better job than we did. I believe that, as a 51-year-old white male living in America, my job is to clear the path for the voices I’ve silenced either knowingly or unknowingly. I cannot be a good ally because I’ve benefitted too much from the world I was born into. Regardless of whether I wanted those benefits or not, I got them.
