In his 2016 New York Times op-ed piece Death in Black and White Michael Eric Dyson moved a nation. Now he continues to speak out in Tears We Cannot Stopa provocative and deeply personal call for change. Dyson argues that if we are to make real racial progress we must face difficult truths including being honest about how black grievance has been ignored dismissed or discounted.The time is at hand for reckoning with the past recognizing the truth of the present and moving together to redeem the nation for our future. If we don't act now if you don't address race immediately there very well may be no future.
