I don't know as much about my ancestors as you do. But I feel the weight of them, the generations of abuse, trauma, and bigotry on my back.
Sometimes I can forget it's there. Other times, it feels heavy enough to crush me. But the one thing I've always, ALWAYS understood is: I'm the only one standing between ALL OF THEM and my children & grandchildren.
