    This was an uplifting read, thank you.

    He couldn’t wait to tell me about the group of black boys who walked up to him and gave him dap. Or how the assistant principal, a black man in his late 30s, asked to take a photo with him during recess.

    This was an uplifting read, thank you.

    Not directly related, but this was a pretty interesting (and long) read about racial identity recently as well: Sigrid Johnson Was Black. A DNA Test Said She Wasn’t.
