Thanks for doing this, Ori. It's a lovely tribute. When my boss and I travelled last on business, I had made the car reservation. When we got to the car rental counter, I needed to have him put on the car as a driver. We were laughing and joking as we got to the counter and the first question the counter person asked was "Are you married"?
A black man and white woman can be friends, can travel together, can be presumed to be married with a smile rather than a grimace or a sneer of hate. Thanks, Mildred.
Yep. I grew up on the stories of my mom's car being shot at and her door repeatedly egged when she was helping organize MLK's funeral and thus traveling with a lot of black men. I'm proud and grateful that we live in a country now where I don't have that fear.
