Unequal Justice by Dellis Frank  Image: Over and over and over again we see inequality in this country. From structural racism, laws specifically designed to keep a group of people from attaining “The American Dream” to the disparities for healthcare, education, and employment, we see the effects of post traumatic slave syndrome. For decades the people in power buried their heads in the sand when it came to the treatment of those that didn’t look like them. They buried their heads in the sand if unequal justice didn’t affect them directly. They buried their heads in the sand and denied that it was going on. Unequal justice is a reality for so many. We can never be the country we aspire to be if we don’t make the effort to change this dark reality.
