"A decade from now, we may look back at this period of time as a turning point in addressing racism in the United States. Today, young people, activists, politicians, and commentators are publicly labeling selected politicians and other leaders as racists and sexists because of their tweets and words against people of color, immigrants, Jewish people, Muslims, women, gender-nonconforming people, and other LGBTQI+ people.
