Beautiful. Forwarding this to my son, who grew up here in Austin, Texas and has yet to leave this country.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your kind words, Karen! I lived in Austin at some point. I hated it. I could start a YouTube channel and write a book about how anti-Black Austin wants to be. But we need to educate people on the history of I-35, East Austin, West Campus, etc. I am praying your son leaves the country ASAP. Studying abroad in university is what got that bug in me. I now live in London! Let’s stay connected.
