Has she ever been to a museum? The experience of the Smithsonian Museum of African American History is to descend first into the horrors of slavery, then the building opens up into a grand hall after the Civil War and you walk upwards towards progress and a better future.

At the beginning of the pandemic
I believed we would learn
to take care of each other
and though I knows it seems
that all we have learned
is to ignore suffering and death,
the pandemic is not over
which means we still have time
in which to learn
to take care of each other.
