“I’m mindful that we aren’t born ‘woke,’ but something wakes us up. For some people it was a tweet, or a Facebook post, or an Instagram post that was the first time that they understood the world differently. I do think about protesters like they’re telling the truth in public, and we know that protest is not the answer, but it creates space for the answer.“
– Activist DeRay McKesson (in an interview in Longreads)
