I’m listening to the Spelman-Morehouse Christmas Carol Concert and I’m shook. I experienced it in person last year and was in tears as I listened to the beautiful Black voices that sung before me. This year I’m watching from home but the feeling is the same. Aside from the fact that these students sound amazing, I’m always emotional because I think of where our people have come from and what we’ve endured. We’re still here, still excellent, still beautiful.
I can imagine our ancestors listening and weeping too, but weeping tears of joy in amazement of our shine.
