I saw white Southerners pretending to move "with all deliberate speed to integrate" institutions, while refusing to move an inch.
And since that time, I've seen over and over the ravages that systemic racism and racial injustice inflict on US society, because our society as a whole has refused to move towards racial justice. Those ravages are on glaring display in the Trump era.
The problem is not moving quickly. It's the refusal to move at all.
