When the Fire Comes for Us All
Picture Derek Chauvin's knee pressed into George Floyd's neck for nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds. Picture Floyd calling for his mama as life drains from his body. Picture millions watching this murder unfold on their phones, then taking to the streets in the largest civil rights demonstrations in American history. This wasn't just another tragedy in a long line of police killings-this was the moment America's racial reckoning could no longer be postponed. The fire Baldwin prophesied had arrived, and we were all standing in it. What makes this moment different from countless others? After all, we've seen this cycle before: viral video, public outrage, promises of reform, then back to business as usual. But something shifted in 2020. Maybe it was the pandemic forcing us to slow down and actually watch. Maybe it was the accumulation of names-Trayvon, Tamir, Sandra, Breonna, Ahmaud-finally reaching critical mass. Or maybe Trump's presidency ripped off the mask of civility, exposing the rot beneath. Whatever the catalyst, millions of Americans suddenly understood that racism isn't some relic of the past but a living, breathing system that shapes every aspect of our society.
