Great writing and a good reminder things are not all right.

I love how you show that kids can have complicated emotions.
I wonder how often this happened. Well written.
Sad that racism continues – but I sense it always will. We are so busy looking for differences in race, religion, class, caste (the list is endless) we fail to see the similarities of the one human species.
