This weekend my family went to Western Regional Park. We probably saw 200 people – not one African American. Made me upset at the history that underlies that of hate and risk in that area. Made me upset at how much we accept segregated space in our county and our country. Made me worry that people had chosen to live in that space in part for segregation – and made me concerned about how we can make more racial equity real in our county if many of our residents choose where they are to be away from groups of other people (frequently black and brown).
