White southerners, we must speak up now -- Black lives matter. Our souls are at stake, as is American society. Too many of us observe the parade of Black deaths and close our eyes to the scourge of white supremacy and say not a word. Neither do we do much of anything that matters or helps bring about change.
You and I can never know what it is like to be Black, but by God, we can do better than we have done for generations. Shame on us if we don't.
