“The universe, which is not merely the stars and the moon and the planets, flowers, grass, and trees, but other people, has evolved no terms for your existence, has made no room for you, and if love will not swing wide the gates, no other power will or can.” A brilliant and thought-provoking piece by James Baldwin from 1962 that is sadly still relevant today: https://lnkd.in/dUgwmK5 ? #BlackHistoryMonth …see more
