My beautiful baby grandchild exists because of the courage of her grandparents on her Cambodian side who fled terror, genocide, the killing fields, and sought refuge here, in this country, in this cold northern state. They started over, raised a family here. A family that included a daughter who met my son who found love in each other and made a baby together. A baby descended from at least three Asian cultures, refugees, African slaves, European colonizers. An all American baby.
This country
Founded on genocide and slavery
Yet the Statue of Liberty
And millions of proud immigrants and refugees
Indigenous people rising up
No water no life
Black Lives Matter
The is us
Messy and difficult
Facing a new terror from a demagogue who could be our undoing
But we the people
We the people
Will
