In today’s raceAhead, a tribute to Tom Joyner, persisting racism in the U.S. financial system, and a domestic terrorism investigation begins in Jersey City. But first, your week in review, in haiku.
Brexit time is here;
At long last, the Union’s past
for whom do we cheer?
Impeachment time is
here; Twitter rants, secret plants
we all need a beer
Marching time is here
Across the world, signs unfurled
power commandeered
Climate change is here;
it’s too late, we must face fate
or just disappear
Christmas time is here
voices raised in peace and praise,
we could use the cheer.
