I was struck by this gorgeous and powerful photo of two black ballerinas en pointe, protesting on a defaced Confederate monument. It seems to me a juxtaposition of an old and corrupted order and a new order, full of hope and opportunity. A contrast of white racist ugliness and black excellence and beauty.
We are all standing on tiptoe.
