This is so beautiful. I think race has always just been an excuse to grab power. We need to stop grabbing power by demonizing and dehumanizing each other. It's time to evolve our brains and hearts. This type of thinking will lead the way.

I felt the yearning to belong in these graphics. This same yearning is eloquently expressed by one of our best American poets, Langston Hughes:

I, Too

By Langston Hughes

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.

They send me to eat in the kitchen

When company comes,

But I laugh,

And eat well,

And grow strong.

Tomorrow,

I’ll be at the table

When company comes.

Nobody’ll dare

Say to me,

“Eat in the kitchen,”

Then.

Besides,

They’ll see how beautiful I am

And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.

Every time I read this, my whole body vibrates with yearning - for it to come true.
