I can't imagine how hard this was to write. It is such a beautiful tribute to your families home, and also a stark reminder to all of us that these events are seen all too often, and more and more frequently. Our leaders and those in power have really let us down, and continue to do so. So we take care of each other. You brought me to tears.
This is beautifully written and captures so many complicated emotions, both personal and collective. You really capture the space and the community and what has been lost. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us.
So sorry. Thank you for sharing this personal, meaningful, painful connection to what happened. You've conveyed your story in a very moving, heartful way.
So terrible for your family, and all the others. Especially your grandma and the Madlib family, and all grandma's old neighbors. So much has been lost.

Thanks for reading!
I'm going to go eat some cheese in your honor. Just a Tillamook sharp cheddar, but it's the thought that counts, right?
The loss of such a nexus of Black history and culture is immeasurable.
