How Did We Get Here?

“How did we get here?”

This is a question I repeatedly hear and read these days.

It began after Trump’s election but has echoed on ever since. The question was repeated after the Charlottesville Unite the Right Rally. It is asked each time we witness cops around this nation brutalize or murder Black women, men, and children. It is a chorus as Latine children are locked away in inhumane conditions.
