As we approach the upcoming city election, I think back to last summer when hundreds of people marched the streets of Chattanooga. I’ll never forget the words that we chanted, painstakingly fueled by anger and desperation.

This is what democracy looks like!
No justice, no peace!
Truthfully, until then I’d been oblivious to the racial disparities that exist in our society. I thought segregation and dehumanization were only things we read about in history books. I had to face the reality that I saw the world through the lens of white privilege. I’m glad I see differently now.
