Ah, fam. Another year is coming to a close — a year that started with an insurrection and feels like it only barely slowed down from there. Lots happened in the world of race: Kamala Harris became the first woman of color to hold the office of vice president; Deb Haaland became the first Native American cabinet secretary. Violence directed at Asian Americans continued and escalated. We saw Juneteenth declared a national holiday at the same time parents across the country were organizing to keep critical race theory from being taught in schools. Multiple, high-profile court cases that centered around race went to. And of course, the coronavirus pandemic has continued to illustrate and intensify disparities among different racial groups.
