How did it come to this? A racial reckoning. An antiracist revolution. My cover essay for the Sept. issue @TheAtlantic argues America is ending its denial. No president has caused more Americans to stop denying the existence of racism than Donald Trump. 1/

I don't know who needs to hear this, but fifteen states now spend $27,000 more per person in prison than they do per student.
