But I now have a different view of small towns, one based in part on how they sometimes treat those they perceive as outsiders.
Over the course of our 12 years in Columbia, my family slowly but surely progressed from insiders to outsiders, beginning with the adoption of our youngest daughter, a beautiful girl from Ethiopia.
My other two children, who are blond with blue eyes, were never followed by store employees; my youngest daughter was.
My youngest daughter has had all those experiences.
She has also been told that slavery was necessary to “help” Black people to be ready for life in America.
