A must read:
"Are the consequences of being an unwilling participant in history worth it? Sometimes the answer is unequivocally yes. Other times, it’s much messier. The real-life characters involved don’t always get a happy ending, and the narrator has to reckon with their role in the plot.For Americans, our country is a story we keep telling ourselves. It is freedom and fireworks. It is also a National Mall surrounded by chain link fences and National Park Service exhibits sanitized of the country’s history of slavery. The new photo is part of that story, and in that sense, it was truthful and needed. Was it, at the same time, hurtful and exploitative? Yes. For all those reasons, and more, it is an opportunity to hold a mirror up to ourselves, and to hope for something better."
