I speak to those in denial, whether by innocence or intention.

Denial is like an open, raw infection from a 1620s human cargo sailing ship.
The rawness of Americans’ skin was never treated, and the wound never healed.

Our collective and institutional ancestry suffers from this denial.
An untreated wound poisons all of our veins.*
