By GottaLaff

The wonderful Melissa Harris Lacewell wrote a simply exquisite piece that I won't even begin to chop up into excerpts.

Just go read it. It's clear, it's concise, it's heartbreaking, it's inspiring, it's eye-opening, it's thought-provoking... it's Melissa Harris Lacewell. Need I say more?

Go here. Then come back and comment. I have a feeling I know what you'll say.
