Enduring evil

To the editor:

Racism, built into the fabric of American culture, is protected by those who live and further it. Some knowingly, some not. The majority of those involved in the killing of Tyre Nichols, and countless others, long to fit in and be accepted by the powerful who endorse this malignant expression of hate, the deadliest of emotional cancers. Owning and confronting this truth, the myriad ways (both covert and overt) racism continues to be expressed, and the necessity of coming together to right a horrific wrong — for which we continue to pay a deadly price — is crucial to America’s endurance.
