Early June 2020 Information.
The end of the Kennedy Presidency was an era of transition and a new era. The Vietnam War was still under way along with his re-election campaign. November 14, 1963 was when President John F. Kennedy attended a dedication ceremony at the border of Maryland and Delaware. This was done to mark the completion of the Northeast Expressway and the Delaware Turnpike. They formed part of Interstate 95 and provided a limited access route between Baltimore and the approach to the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Both roads were renamed the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway,a month later after his assassination. On November 18, he visited Tampa, Florida. He visited the military's Strike Command Headquarters, attended a luncheon at the officer's club, made a speech at the Florida Chamber of Commerce, and another to the United Steelworker's Union. By November 21, 1963, President John F. Kennedy asked his economic advisers to prepare for the War on Poverty for 1964. Less than 2 months after President Kennedy's assassination, President Lyndon Johnson introduced JFK's War on Poverty legislation in the first State of the Union address on January 8, 1964. 2 major pieces of related legislated were passed. They were the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and the Social Security Act of 1965. They were signed into law on August 20, 1964 and July 30, 1965 respectively. On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy would fly to Texas to promote his 1964 re-election campaign and unite the Democratic Party of the South. When he was in Dallas, Texas, he was praised by a crowd of people. On that day, President John F. Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally were shot at 12:30 pm. CST (or 1:30 pm. EST) in Dealey Plaza. The President was rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital were Kennedy was pronounced death at 1 pm. CST. The nation would never be the same again. The nation mourned, the world mourned, and it was a very tragic time in American history. His death signified how political polarization grown to such an extend that some people would in cruel, evil fashion use assassination as a means to try to hurt others. The suspect Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and charged with the murder. Oswald was a Marine Corps member before he defected to the Soviet Union in October 1959. He never came back to America until June 1962 with his Russian wife, Marina. He lived in Dallas. Lee Harvey Oswald was a distant cousin of the Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Oswald would be shot and killed 2 days later by nightclub owner Jack Ruby. The Warren Commission mentioned information about how Oswald did it alone. Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1969 (in an interview with the journalist Walter Cronkite) believed that Oswald did it, but that doesn't discount the possibility of others being involved. LBJ would be President on that date of November 22, 1963. The body of President Kennedy lies in state in the Capitol rotunda for 18 hours on November 24. His funeral would be on the 25th. President Kennedy was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. The eternal flame (at Arlington National Cemetery. This flame was known later as the John F. Kennedy Eternal Flame) was lit by Mrs. Kennedy. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy did this as being inspired by the Tomb of the Unknown soldier at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. To this day, the vast majority of Americans believe that the Kennedy assassination was a conspiracy. James DiEugenio and other scholars are some of the biggest supporters of the view that the assassination of JFK was a product of a conspiracy too. In this time, the assassination of John F. Kennedy contributed greatly to the atmosphere of massive changes in the world. President John F. Kennedy's life was a life of constant change, imperfections, courage, and the idealism of what America ought to be in the midst of what it is currently.
The Bulls Dynasty from 1991 to 1993 and from 1996-1998 was one of the greatest sports team dynasties in history. The Chicago Bulls was a pure part of the 1990's culture, and it has inspired current athletes in 2020. The greatness of the 1990's Bulls will not be forgotten. The greatest NBA player in history, Michael Jordan, will always be respected for his contributions to basketball. Yet, as the Last Dance documentary has documented, there were imperfections revolving around Jordan, the rest of the Bulls team, and the Bulls management. Both players and managements including coaches disagreed on contracts, player rotations, and other matters. Debates around what has happened still exist to this very day. Past hurts even flourish decades later. That is the messed up part of that situation. Michael Jordan's $100 million investment to fight racism should be commended. Yet, Michael Jordan made the serious error for a long time for being very much quiet on important political issues when he was the most popular athlete of his time. Muhammad Ali sacrificed his career to oppose the Vietnam War and stand up for poor and working class black Americans. The sad reality of Nike using child exploitation in making Nikes, and these other things make us to put the situation into context. We can both praise Michael Jordan greatness in basketball while not justifying his mistakes outside of the court. Two things can be true. The 10 part series of the Last Dance in my view was to the point, fair, and it outlined events that many people didn't know about. My views on Michael Jordan never changed. I knew most of the important information in the documentary. I respect Jordan's basketball accomplishments while disagreeing with his mistakes. The lesson of the documentary is that we shouldn't place men as idols. We should recognize that it is our responsibility to not only speak the truth, but to live the truth in treating people right and developing our social consciousness in making the world better. No one should let past hurt consume their souls. With massive economic inequality, police brutality, and racism, there is no excuse for adults to not take a stand on political issues. Almsgiving, standing up for the people, and community developments make sense. At the end of the day, we can't use "all costs" to get justice if all costs means to do things in an evil fashion. We have to be moral about our intentions. The Bulls Dynasty was a representation of the great selfish lengths that capitalism had has been involved in exploiting human lives at the expense of integrity. It also showed ironically how teamwork, not selfish individualism will cause greatness to be abundant. Michael Jordan certainly deserves his credit along with his teammates too in establishing a historic sports franchise. There are those who want to scapegoat Michael Jordan for the corporate exploitation of sports in general. That is wrong. While Jordan isn't perfect, the corporate exploitation of society existed long before Michael Jordan was ever born. Michael Jordan is the victim of this system (like all of us) not the cause of it. We want basketball to flourish in the future without a system that permits imperialism, racism, human exploitation, and other blatant injustices. There certainly will never be another Bulls Dynasty ever again.
In the beginning, the Bulls Team by 1983 was struggling massively. The team was not in the playoffs back then. Attendance was low. Yet, the NBA in general reached into new heights. Legends like Kareem, Moses Malone, Bob Lanier, George Gervin, Bernard King, Dennis Johnson, and Dr. J. Also, new talent was abundant like Magic, Ralph Sampson, James Worthy, Mark Aguirre, Isiah Thomas and Bird. Basketball is a staple of American culture, but the game of basketball was invented by the Canadian James Naismith. Today, it is an international sport of excellence. The player that helped to make the Chicago Bulls a household name is Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan was born in 1963 at Wilmington, North Carolina. Wilmington is home to a lot of racism that Jordan admitted to experiencing while he was growing up. His competitive nature was inherited by his parents, James Jordan and Deloris Jordan. As a child, he played sports as a means to build character and express himelf. Him playing basketball against his brother Larry Jordan often ended up in fights. At first, Michael Jordan was losing to his older brother, and then he started to beat him. This inspired him to play in high,school, college, and beyond. Michael Jordan was once cut from the basketball team in high school. Yet, he grew taller and improved his skills to start on the high school team. He played for North Carolina for many years under coach Dean Smith. He won the National NAACP Championship and grew into more heights of skills and popularity. He also played for the 1984 USA Olympic Team where he was the best player on the court. Bobby Knight was the coach of the Olympic Team back in 1984 at Los Angeles, California. Many were already calling Jordan the best basketball player in the world by the early 1980's.
Michael Jordan came to the Chicago Bulls by the 1984 NBA Draft. That draft included some of the greatest players in basketball history like Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, Sam Perkins, John Stockton, Alvin Robertson, etc. Many people were skeptical about Michael Jordan's skills because of his size. There were many doubters like Eaton and Walt Frazier. Yet, Michael Jordan proved to be an outstanding basketball player during his Rookie Season. He inspired crowds with his highlights, and he caused the Bulls to go into the NBA Playoffs. He scored almost 30 points a game, and he was named Rookie of the Year of the NBA. He was in the NBA All Star Game back in 1985. While this was going on, Jordan signed a contract with Nike that propelled the Nike company to achieve record profits. Back then, Nike was a track and field shoe. Concord and other shoes dominated the basketball market. With Michael Jordan's charisma and talent, Nike sales exploded. After the 1985 Playoffs, Michael Jordan continued to play until her broke his leg in the early part of the Bulls' 1985-1986 season. Michael Jordan was in pain, but miraculously, he trained until he was healed 100% before the 1985-86 season was over. Jerry Krause wanted Michael Jordan to sit out the whole season (in order for a better draft pick to come about), but Michael Jordan wanted to play as soon as possible. This was the first signs of the disagreements between Krause and Jordan including other players that ultimately ended the Chicago Bulls dynasty as we know it. Michael Jordan once played for 14 minutes a game when he came back. In 1986, Jordan made 63 points against the Boston Celtics, but he lost the Playoffs to the Celtics again. He would grow and be the best player in the NBA by 1988. In 1988, he won the Slam Dunk Competition, the NBA All-Star Game, the NBA MVP Award, the Defensive Player of the Year, the NBA All-Star Game MVP, and other accolades. He was the most popular player in the league. Michael Jordan continued to excel in the sport of basketball, but one team would be a road block for years to come. That team's name would be: The Detroit Pistons.
The Detroit Pistons would prevent the Chicago Bulls from reaching the Promised Land of the NBA Finals by using the Jordan Rules. The Jordan Rules was about using aggressive defensive tactics against Jordan that made sure that his other teammates would bear the burden to win games. By the late 1980's, Michael Jordan gained many great players who were Scottie Pippen (from Arkansas), Bill Paxton, Horace Grant, Bill Cartwright, and Bill Hodges. This team struggled mightily against the Pistons in the beginning. The Pistons won 2 straight championships in 1989 and 1990 against the Lakers and the Trailblazers respectively. They were nicknamed "The Bad Boys" because many of their players would be violent and provoke fights on the basketball court. I give Michael Jordan credit to taking that punishment from the Pistons and never retaliating all of the time. Isaiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer, Dumars, Mahone, and others dominated the Bulls from 1988 to 1990 during the NBA Playoffs. After losing a close series in 1990, the Chicago Bulls teams started to change. By this time, Phil Jackson (in replacing the previous coach Doug Collins) was the coach of the team. Jackson and Tex Winter wanted to use a more team orientation style of play in order to win more games. This game plan is called the Triangle Offense, because players act as a triangle to pass the ball around the court. Jordan was convinced to accept this plan, and it worked. By 1990, they went to the NBA Eastern Conference Finals. Also, the Bulls team started to work out more in the Summer of 1990 to be stronger physically and mentally. By the 1990-1991 season, the Bulls excelled greatly. The Chicago Bulls became a much better team than previous years. Jordan passed the ball more. Scottie grew as a leader. Horace had the skills and strength to defend and shoot the ball. Paxson shoot the 3s greatly. By the 1991 Playoffs, the Bulls finally beat the Pistons in a sweep. The Piston team walked off the court. That move caused Jordan to never forget. Me, personally, Jordan should have forgive the Pistons as that was almost 30 years ago. The Chicago Bulls encountered the legendary team of the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1991 Championship series.
Jordan vs. Magic was the theme of the 1991 NBA Finals. Magic was already on the mountaintop as a legend and ambassador of the game. Michael Jordan was a great player back then, but he didn't have a ring yet. Therefore, Michael Jordan wanted to achieve that greatness in order to solidify more of his basketball career. The Bulls lost the first game against the Lakers. The Bulls came back to win 3 straight games. Paxton made plays along with Pippen and others. The series was the passing of the torch from Magic to Jordan. It was the start of a new era of the NBA. By game 5, the Chicago Bulls won their first championship in 1991. People celebrated. Michael Jordan cried with his parents and his first wife Juanita Jordan. Chicago would never be the same. The 1991-1992 Bulls teams would probably be the best athletically talented Bulls team of the entire dynasty. Michael Jordan and the rest of the Bulls dominated the league in scoring plus defense. The team worked as a cohesive unit. During the 1992 NBA All Star game celebrate Magic Johnson's courage involving his fight against HIV/AIDS. The Chicago Bulls beat the NY Knicks in a tough 7 game series in 1992. Jordan's game 7 performance was his best performance of his NBA career in my opinion. Jordan inspired Horace Grant in the series to be more emotionally strong to handle the games. The Bulls faced the Portland Trailblazers at the 1992 NBA Finals. Jordan made multiple 3s in one game to prove that he could make 3s. Clyde Drexler was a great player in his own right, and the the Bulls won their 2nd championship.
By the Summer of 1992, Michael Jordan was the most popular player on Earth. The Dream Team was formed, because the previous college USA Olympic team in 1988 lost the gold medal. That team was made up of collegiate athletes, so people wanted that to change. A tape proved recently that Michael Jordan didn't want Isiah Thomas to be part of the Dream Team. Isiah Thomas deserved to be on the team and he was qualified, won championships, and was a great basketball player. Back then, Bird, Magic, Pippen, and other player didn't want Isiah Thomas on the Dream Team. To his credit, Magic Johnson apologized to Isiah Thomas face to face like a man. The Dream Team played in many places before going the 1992 Barcelona Olympia. The Dream Team helped to internationalize the sport of basketball. That is why Toni Kukoc soon was on the Bulls team. Kukoc played greatly in a game against the Dream Team ironically enough. The Dream Team's practice in Monte Carlo was hard. Jordan was playing against Magic. Each man had their teams. Magic was reluctant to leave the throne, but Jordan came back in the game to prove that Jordan was the new best player in the league. The Dream Team easily won gold at the Olympics. Jordan celebrated by using the flag to cover the Reebox logo, because Jordan represented Nike. Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Michael Jordan, David Robinson, Chris Mullin, Clyde Drexler, Patrice Ewing, Magic Johnson, Christian Laettner, Scottie Pippen, and Coach Daley deserved their medals via determination and hard work. The Chicago Bulls would go through their toughest basketball challenges of their first 3 peat by the 1992-1993 NBA season. The Bulls won many games. Also, Michael Jordan was tired emotionally and secretly desired to retire. Also, scandals about the Bulls persisted. The book called the Jordan Bulls said that Jordan was aggressive to his teammates and acted like a tough guy. Jordan accused Horace of feeding the author information for the book. Horace to this day denies that allegation. The book exposed the gambling of Jordan, which many people didn't know at the time. Michael Jordan did gamble, and the NBA found no illegal gambling acts by him. The Bulls carried on to defeat the Knicks during 1993 Playoffs. Jordan's gambling in Atlantic City was scrutinized by the media, but the Bulls stuck together to defeat the Knicks. At the 1993 NBA Finals, the Bulls faced the Phoenix Suns. Charles Barkley won the 1993 MVP award, and this motivated Jordan to compete. The Suns team pushed the Bulls to 6 games, but Jordan has 55 points in one game. The Bulls won their 3 peat which Bird and Magic never did. It was the Bulls' first three peat. Michael Jordan felt a great sense of relief from the battles on and off the court. He won the NBA Finals, and he was the peak of his basketball career. Later, Michael Jordan would face some the biggest challenges of his life, and he would still prove to be the greatest once again.
By the Summer of 1993, Michael Jordan witnessed a horrible tragedy. His father, James Jordan, was found murdered at the North Carolina/South Carolina border. James was traveling. Many people expected the Bulls with Jordan to fight for a fourth straight championship, but that wouldn't be so. Michael Jordan immediately retired by October 6, 1993 at the age of 30. By this time, a vast majority of people viewed Jordan as the greatest of all time. The media was in full force by the time of announcement. Ironically, he made a prediction that he could come back being a future challenge down the road. Jordan play for the AAA baseball team of the Birmingham Barons (of the Minor Leagues). Crowds of people were there. He struggled in the beginning, and he finally did above .200 which was miraculous for a new player at his age. The Chicago had their nucleus of Horace, Pippen, BJ Armstrong, Kukoc, and Paxton. The 1993-1994 Chicago Bulls was just as good as any team in the NBA. Scottie Pippen was the new leader. Scottie Pippen won MVP for the NBA All Star Game in 1994, and he was 2nd in steals. Pippen propelled the Bulls deep into the 1994 Playoffs. The Bulls lost to the Knicks in a close series during the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Knicks would go on to lose to the Houston Rockets as the Rockets would win their first NBA Championship in 1994. The Bulls would struggle in the early 1994-1995 season. Michael Jordan lived in the MLB strike, and he refused to play as an alternative player. Jordan played pick up games with BJ Armstrong. Later, Jordan decided to comeback in the NBA by March 1995. He decision would change the basketball world forevermore. Michael Jordan sent a fax saying, "I'm Back." Many human beings cheered at such of an announcement.
On March 1995, Michael Jordan and the Bulls faced the Pacers in Jordan first comeback game. Michael Jordan made 19 points, and soon made 55 points at Madison Square Garden in another game against the New York Knicks. Jordan led the Bulls to have a 9-1 record in April. The Chicago finally came into the Playoffs. The Bulls struggled against the Orlando Magic because of many reasons. Michael Jordan was not in total basketball shape as he just came back from baseball. The Chicago Bulls lacked an internal defensive player like Horace Grant who played for the Magic back then. The 1995 Bulls and Magic series (the Magic had players like Shaquille O'Neal, Penny Hardaway, Grant, Nick Anderson, etc.) ended with the Bulls losing. The Bulls defeat inspired the Chicago Bulls to regroup to be one the best teams in history by the next season. Michael Jordan immediately worked out. He made the film Space Jam in 1995 while playing basketball with some of the best NBA Players at the specialized gym built by Warner Brothers. The Bulls signed Dennis Rodman in late 1995 as a catalyzed to help the Bulls rebound and defend better.
With Dennis Rodman, Michael Jordan, and Scottie Pippen, they made history as part of the Chicago Bulls 1995-1996 team. They made the 2nd best team record in NBA history, and they played offense plus defense in a high level. Rodman did the rebounding. Pippen was a great defender and offensive facilitator. After losing to Seattle to fall to 10-2 in later November of 1995, the Bulls won 31 of its next 32 games including 14 during an undefeated January 1996. Michael Jordan was back to defeat opponents. He was the 1996 NBA All-Star Game MVP. He excelled on every level and he was the NBA MVP in 1996. The Bulls had a record of 72-10 breaking the previous record of the 1971-72 Lakers of 69-13. They sweep the Orlando Magic, and defeated the Seattle Supersonics in 6 games. The series wasn't easy. Gary Payton was an excellent defender, and Sean Kemp was explosive offensively. Steve Kerr was also a potent 3-point shooter. It was fitting that the Chicago Bulls would win the 4th championship on Father's Day. Michael Jordan was emotional, because it would be his first championship without his father with him physically. His first wife and his children celebrated his accomplishments along the way. Michael Jordan was emotional and praised the Chicago Bulls organization. The Chicago Bulls won again for a 5th title on 1997. He had a triple double in the 1997 All Star Game. Also, he faced the Knicks and the Heat throughout the season. Even as early as 1997, some in Bulls management wanted to break up the Bulls. This didn't happen thankfully. The Bulls faced their strongest opponent during that year with the Utah Jazz during the 1997 NBA Finals. Jordan made 38 points in 44 minutes while being completely sick during one game. Malone, Stockton, and other players gave the Bulls fits, but the Bulls won in 6 games in 1997. After that season, it was clear that the beginning of the end was approaching.
During the Summer of 1997, the Bulls played teams in Paris, France to participate in a World Basketball Championship tournament. Jordan played many games and won the Tournament making the Chicago Bulls officially the best team on Earth. By this time, Bulls management had a huge debate on the future of the Bulls. Krause was adamant that Phil Jackson would not be the coach of the Bulls in 1999. Michael Jordan said that if Jackson wasn't the coach, he wasn't going to play for the Bulls. Scottie Pippen was hurt and delayed surgery until later, because he wanted to rest. A compromise was reached where Phil Jackson would coach for only the 1997-1998 season. The real blame for this controversy is not even Krause per se, but Jerry Resinsdof. Jerry Reinsdorf could easily allow Jackson to coach for multiple years, change Scottie Pippen's contract to be more fair, and make other changes. Yet, Kruase was blamed mostly by many. In the beginning of the 1997-1998 season, the Chicago Bulls struggled heavily. Pippen was gone, because he had surgery and had to recover. Michael Jordan had to pull most of the weight to win games. Later, Pippen wanted to be traded. This was stopped later on. Pippen was a victim of a bad contract for years, so he was understandably disappointed. Also, Dennis Rodman played with more intensity to compensate Pippen's absence. By the end of 1997, and the start of 1998, the Bulls started to rebound. Rodman also took a long vacation in Las Vegas with his then girlfriend Carmen Electra. Jordan had to get him in Las Vegas to take him to practice. At practice, Rodman ran fast and was rejuvenated. By February of 1998, there was the NBA All Star Game. At that game, Michael Jordan won the NBA All Star Game MVP being one of the oldest players to have done so. Also, he scored on the then young player Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant would later be one of the greatest players in history. The Chicago Bulls defeated the Charlotte Hornets during the 1998 Playoffs with BJ Armstrong on the Hornets team. They would face the Indiana Pacers with Larry Bird as the coach. The Pacers had Reggie Miller, Davis, Smits, Jalen Rose, and other players. They took the Bulls to the limit in 7 games. The Pacers was the toughest challenge that the Bulls faced during the 1998 Playoffs. Yet, Jordan, Kukoc, Pippen, Harper, Kerr, Longley, and other members of the Bulls team stood up to defeat them. The Bulls literally worked as a team. The Chicago Bulls were tired facing the Utah Jazz again in the 1998 NBA Finals. The Bulls lost the first game. They won the 2nd game. Later, by Game 6, Scottie Pippen had a hurting back. Yet, Pippen continued to play courageously. Michael Jordan stole the ball from Karl Malone to shoot the final shot in the series. The Chicago Bulls won their 6 NBA Finals Championships. Michael Jordan came to be further validated as the greatest player in NBA History, who was 35 years old in 1998. Jordan and other people celebrated with piano playing in a hotel. Rodman showed the DX sign to the Utah crowd. People cheered in Chicago. A NBA lock out shortened the 1999 NBA season. Jackson was soon gone. Therefore, Michael Jordan officially retired again in the date of January 13, 1999 with his first wife Juanita Jordan by his side. The Bulls kept Kukoc. Pippen came to the Rockets and the Blazers. Rodman came into the Lakers. The Chicago Bulls team never made it to the playoffs again until the 21st century. The rebuilding process of the Chicago Bulls never materialized until a long time.
The 21st century era had glimmers of hope. By this time, the Chicago Bulls finally came into the Playoffs. Michael Jordan played for the Washington Wizards from 2001-2003. He made records as the first 40 year old man to score over 40 points. He made 51 points at the age of 38. He almost won the NBA All Star Game in 2003. The Chicago Bulls had a resurgence from 2004 to 2007. Ben Gordon and Luol Deng played great. The Derrick Rose era was from 2008-2016. Derrick Rose is a great player, but he had many injuries in his career. Right now in 2020, the Chicago Bulls continues to be in a rebuilding state.
With the events going on in the world now, we recognize the truth. The same rivalry, tensions, contradictions, accomplishments, joy, historic changes, etc. found in the Chicago Bulls dynasty have existed worldwide. Legends existed throughout basketball. The Last Dance documentary confirms that a necessary balance between players and management is key in the establishment of a stronger program. The big mystery is whether the Chicago Bulls would have won more championships if they weren't broken up. I do believe that since the 1999 NBA season was shorten and Dennis Rodman would be inspired greatly (since Rodman left the Spurs in 1995 previously over issues with the Spurs team) that the Bulls would have a great chance to defeat the San Antonio Spurs. The Last Dance documentary lasting 10 episodes described Jordan's greatness and his imperfections. I don't agree with how Jordan treated Scott Burrell regardless if Burrell liked it. Likewise, I do agree with Michael Jordan showing courageousness in the basketball court, helping out friends (like the late Gus Lett including other human beings), and working in many programs that has helped many human beings. The Chicago Bulls organization now is rebuilding, and the Chicago Bulls 1990's is always part of legendary basketball history. We can't omit the great contributions of Jordan, Pippen, Horace, Kerr, Rodman, Cartwright, Kukoc, Harper, Paxon, Hodges, and other people who made the Chicago Bulls dynasty what it was. The NBA is in great hands with players like Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard, Kyrie Irving, Paul George, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Luka Doncic, and other human beings. Michael Jordan came a long way from saying in a joke that Republicans buy Jordans too to going out to publicly condemn police injustice. Still, our society has a long way to go in witness true justice for all. Life is about learning lessons. The Most High God in his infinite wisdom would want us to not repeat the mistakes of the past in order to make the future better. Today, basketball athletes are filled with incredible talent spanning sexes, races, nationalities, and cultures. What unifies us is our shared humanity and our duty to fight for freedom. In that sense, the world will be better. Yes, Black Lives Matter always.
