This is not a comprehensive list of "all dates relevant to all issues in racial justice in the United States". What it is meant to make clear is that, despite all the black and white photography (which is intentional), you likely have parents and grandparents who carry living memory of these events.

The notion that modern society is a Meritocracy is a lie.

My kids are watching this classic scene from Sesame Street and are just as confused as the Yip Yips. They have absolutely no conception of what this thing is. The humor of the scene has truly come full circle.
