  • Summary

  • The disaster unleashed by the COVID-19 ‘Monster of Dread’ has exposed the ugly underbelly of the American way. The devastation produced by this novel coronavirus has displayed to the world the most revolting sight of all: the disproportionate, and very heavy death toll the ‘Monster of Dread’ is taking on people of color in general, and African Americans in particular.

    History has shown that when a civilization changes direction, it is often because of a phenomenon known as a critical juncture. Something so significant occurred, something so disastrous or momentous happened, that society would be forever altered. And though I can’t be sure how the Covid-19 pandemic will play out, I can say that this is one of those critical junctures, especially if you like me are black in America. What we do next, will determine our fate. What we choose to do together now will form the future. What we change today will make it better for our children and theirs.
