Hello @agmoore. First, good to hear from you. Hope your hubby is mending on schedule. I can understanding IRL taking control during this time.
For my article, when you say that you've always had the feeling of being disparaged and stigmatized, imagine what it's like for a diaspora every single day of their lives simply because of the color of their skin.
And as you say, it was a long time ago. But I can still see the sign over the water fountain. And can still remember entering Woolworth diner downtown and told there was no place to sit even though numerous booths were empty. All my mother wanted was two ice cream cones to cool us off on that hot day and a place to rest before walking back to the bus stop to return home. I'll never forget.
Interesting? That a lovely thought. Perhaps because I've witnessed and heard utterances and comments and "gone through some things" that would shatter a person's self esteem.
Thanks for your visit and insight. Your encounters as did mine certainly shaped our adulthood. I appreciate your engagement. Take care.
