Knowledge of Self James Sanders

From Breonna, Jacob, and Floyd now - to Tamir, Sandra, and Philando then; so much has happened. And justice in the Black community is still a limited commodity. Being Black, living, and living abundantly is revolutionary. But how does one write about the experience?
