It’s only when we zoom out that the picture becomes clearer. Progress is not only evident, it is inevitable. When I was a boy, the laws were such in many states that I couldn’t even marry someone of the white race. Racism was baked into our laws, and the social structures reinforced it. Now, eighty years later, I’m married to a white *dude*! Things change, and the long arc bends, usually for the better because we have fought so hard for it.
