t r u t h o u t | "We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us th=
ink we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races=
, and even alone in genders."
=E2=80=95 Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou's quote reminds me of the many things we learned in the last w=
eek. On the downside, the Supreme Court killed crucial parts of the Voting =
Rights Act and states in the South immediately enacted racial voting laws, =
reminding us that we are still far from erasing bigotry.
The very next day, our spirits were revived when we saw the same court stri=
ke down the federal laws that treated same-sex married couples differently.=
The joyous celebrations were tempered with the realization that there is a=
still a long march to go.
But it will take the will to not try to survive alone - for all of us, with=
all our different identities, to march and work together.
Truthout has a unique set of news analysts and opinion writers who explain =
and push for a world that matches Maya Angelou's hope that we go beyond our=
ignorance. Armed with wisdom and facts, they show how change cannot be mad=
e just for some of us if we want the change to be permanent.
To keep a place for these wise writers at Truthout, we must raise over $23,=
000 in the next few days. Will you help us show the world how to survive by=
standing together? Please give today!

Maya Angelou's quote reminds me of the many things we learned in the last week. On the downside, the Supreme Court killed crucial parts of the Voting Rights Act and states in the South immediately enacted racial voting laws, reminding us that we are still far from erasing bigotry.<br />

The very next day, our spirits were revived when we saw the same court strike down the federal laws that treated same-sex married couples differently. The joyous celebrations were tempered with the realization that there is a still a long march to go.<br />
