“But why we’re not talking about trust and how to build it every single hour of every single day in this country I do not know. I don’t, I don’t know how we get out of this without working on that…: @amandaripley

GREAT interview/conversation.

The opportunity for Mr. Adams, and others of us like him, is to transform his grievance into greater compassion for those who feel the sting of prejudice far more frequently. Rather than "poor me," we can be thankful to have our eyes opened to the greater suffering of others.
