I don’t know what to say about this, exactly, but I know that I have thought about this story countless times since I watched it. I’m sharing it here because I want everyone I know to have the opportunity to see it without me chasing you down and shoving a screen in your face and saying “Here watch this right now.”

Anyway. Last week my 9-year old and I were talking about Martin Luther King Day, and he said: “I just can’t believe that white people used to be so mean to black people and treat them as not even human. I’m so glad that was a long time ago.”
And I thought, again, of this video. So here it is.
