The Blind Heart as I See It Marian Olivia Heath Griffin

Our nation can hardly realize the severity of the African American and Latinx people's plight as they are marginalized and subjected to harsh treatment despite the end of slavery over a century ago. Yet we are fighters and have played a definitive role in shaping America's economics, traditions, culture, values and beliefs. We must move forward to witness a new era even in the midst of a Coronavirus Pandemic, racial prejudicial and gender disparities and a lack of respect for humanity. I see a glimmer of hope as we barely realize that we need each other in society and we will need to utilize every strategy available to the human mind to survive together. "There will be no more gloom for those who were in distress, for the people walking in darkness have seen a great light. (Is. 9: 1-2)
