“The Dark of Broad Daylight” and Other Thoughts on Racial Justice

Dianne Earley has long been a champion of diversity and transformation. The recent protests have prompted powerful feelings and memories, which she shares here with the hope of furthering the all-important conversation about race.

Editor's note: The perpetually overdue conversation about race is growing louder, and we're sure this is the path to healing and justice. The co-founders of NextTribe are two white women who know it's vital to be more inclusive, to publish other voices, and to use this platform to open minds and show life from different perspectives. We are thrilled that Dianne Earley has shared her thoughts and poems here. We also welcome others to add their opinions and experiences on the seismic shift this country is going through.
