I sent my African American Literature students a message today asking how they are and whether they want to have a Zoom session to discuss the protests. Within moments, I got back several messages thanking me for asking about them and telling me how they are feeling. The responses are heartbreaking. I do not feel the pain that African Americans feel right now. I can't possibly. But I am trying to listen hard. I hope we will be able to have a productive session. I want students to lead it, to make it their own.
