I was intrigued by the juxtaposition of this flag with a reflection of the courthouse. The saying sounds almost biblical, but when I looked for the source, I read that it was written by editor Chuck Reese after a tragic event in 2017 in Charlottesville: “White faces have to look straight into the eyes of other white faces and say: I will not abide your hatred.”

Too much hate everywhere these days.
ReplyDeleteGood
ReplyDeleteCharlottesville has a recent history of hate, too. Must be something in the air there.
ReplyDeleteWell captured photo with the message and reflection!
ReplyDelete...perhaps easier said than done.
ReplyDeleteI love the reflection but : “White faces have to look straight into the eyes of other white faces and say: I will not abide your hatred.” sounds a little weird to me. I wonder why some people are obsessed with race and skin color.
