Heartbreaking and heartwarming

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2020)

Once again my heart is broken at watching how normalized racism and segregation were just half a century ago in this country, how normal it was for white people to use racial slurs and treat black people like inferiors. I mean, the word "racism" itself probably didn't even exist at the time. But the story of Tony Lip and Don Shirley's growing friendship brought me great comfort and I'm really grateful there were such good people, however few, among all the herds of bigots.
