…to my ancestors, who were excluded from the process of integration yet taught and supported students of color in the years where our learning was/is not considered a valued asset in the United States: I remember you.
…to the faculty and staff of color who support students in an academy that promises diversity and practices maintenance of the status quo: I see you.
…to the families of scholars of color for their continued support, especially when they, themselves, do not understand the importance of our aspirations: I appreciate you.
…to the scholars of color embarking upon this process with the full knowledge that it is inherently prejudiced against our collective experience and existence: I commend you.
…to my family, friends, and students who have cheered me on and encouraged me to continue through a process that often-caused frustration: I love you, eternally.
