About the hate speech, it leaves me to wonder who/what is targeting and who/what is being targeted? What is random and what is happening way closer to home than we want to admit? Why, each time there is an attempt to move ahead with honoring Du Bois, does there appear to be an orchestrated last minute "attack" on the effort? As for the inaction and silence my colleagues and I witnessed after the racist incident, this is white supremacy at work as well. In many conversations, I have asked, why the silence in the face of an assault? Why do people White people freeze in these moments? Asking these questions is my "calling in" for White folks who continually seek to call themselves allies. There is so much to unlearn, including the silence.
