Burning Cities

Published May 31, 2020

The destruction of oneself is not the way to achieve; justice, freedom, equality, reform. What then is the message that is sent which such actions? To burn, to tear down, to destroy — leaves us with a loss of credibility. The circumstances of the environment we are in has been bubbling for centuries, formulating in many different ways. Yet, it is up to us in how we move forward in making changes. To be intelligent in our pursuit. To articulate and do things differently. To learn about the value of our history and culture. To learn from our leaders who came before us. To learn from the past mistakes and triumphs. To strategize. The destruction that is being done throughout this country, through protest has put us in a place of tremendous loss. Credibility of our struggle is damaged. But, there is always hope when we take responsibility and accountability of our actions to strive for change. A way to move forward in a manner of true strength, intelligence, economic power, unity and knowledge.
