The dismantling of initiatives to foster greater equality in the US have been disheartening. But in this piece for @GreaterGoodSC marking the 5th anniversary of George Floyd's death, I looked for — and found — a small ray of hope.

@amprog's Veronica Goodman wrote in her essay for @CNNOpinion that Project 2025 would weaken labor protections affecting the most vulnerable cadre of American workers.

The "messy bun" says: "I'm all business. I don't have time to worry about a few hairs out of place."
It's the hairstyle embraced by busy working women everywhere.

@CullenJones' wonderful essay for @CNNOpinion recounts historical impediments to Black Americans gaining access to pools. It helps explain why, to this day, there are so few Black swimming Olympians.

In the run-up to the Olympics, @keithlmagee explains for @CNNOpinion why he's more hopeful than ever about how race and national identity are viewed in sports.

There is pain, but also poetry and perseverance in this lovely essay penned by the Smithsonian's own Lonnie G. Bunch III commemorating the 60 year anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

@IamArwaDamon's harrowing piece for @CNNOpinion this week captured a Gaza on the edge of anarchy. https://t.co/h03NZ0dApK

[Stephanie Griffith @steph_griff]

@IamArwaDamon's gripping piece for @CNNOpinion on how the unspeakably bad situation in Gaza could be poised to become even worse.

I asked several @CNN political observers what they anticipate at this week's debate. They reviewed Trump and Biden's debate encounters from four years ago before writing their essays — and their insights were not just fascinating, but unexpected.

It was such a joy to edit this piece by poet and novelist @PinedeNadine. #Juneteenth, Zora Neale Hurston and Haiti turn out to be a captivating — and for me, wholly unexpected — combination.

So much pathos in this @CNNOpinion piece by @pamelawritesnyc about the ravages of climate change, the failures of the American health care system and her mother, who died far too young.

In his piece marking the historic 70th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision. Keith Magee wrote for @CNNOpinion that White and Black students live increasingly in racial and economic isolation from each other.

For @CNNOpinion, I asked several people well past retirement age (one of whom is 101!) why they keep working. Here's what they told me.

@IamArwaDamon's gutwrenching piece for @CNNOpinion illustrating how the suffering in Gaza isn't just physical, but emotional and psychological as well — especially for young children.

Grateful to @kdrkrepp for sharing her moving piece with @CNNOpinion about her family's Confederate legacy – and her role in a symbolic break with this part of their past.
