I’m ashamed and embarrassed to admit how unaware I was as a white person about the hate, the daily indignities, and in many cases, the physical terror suffered by my fellow citizens because of the color of their skin. The failure of my country to live up to the ideals of equality and equal justice before the law is a source of constant pain. I want for all kids what I want for my own; a country making good on its promises.
