“To treat the symptoms of creative maladjustment would be to dull a necessary and noble pain that is an authentic moral response to injustice. For King, maladjustment to injustice is an illness with only one cure—justice.” Today’s very timely read.🤔 spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

You get introduced to some ppl so young & thru the lens of history. To you, they are a legend, an idea, a symbol of excellence, a commitment to Blackness and its humanity. And when they die, you are in profound disbelief. Both surprisingly and predictably, I forgot she was human.

This. This failure is the one I find myself returning to this past week. In the most progressive state in the U.S., we saw a distinct regression regarding the criminal legal system (see Prop. 36, as well). This should concern us all.

Sankofa. “To go back and get it.” Immense gratitude to Stanford SPARQ and the Equal Justice Initiative for the journey of a lifetime. Together we disentangled deep truths and collectively imagined a better justice system. We all, lawyers & psychologists, felt a reinvigorating call to action.
