This is one of the more inspiring news articles I have seen.

> And yet there one afternoon in early June, right in the middle of the county seat, she happened upon it: a crowd of white people demanding justice for Black lives. They would be joined by Black high school students, children of Latino farmworkers, “gays, lesbians, queer, transgender, what-ever,” Ms. Wilkerson, 34, said.“This was not the Chambersburg I grew up in. I had no idea. All of these people are just coming out of the woodwork.”The sight was inspiring, she said. But also frustrating. “Why weren't we doing this a long time ago?”

I can answer her question.  Younger people may exhibit casual racism,
but they feel guilty about it if they realize they are doing it at
all.
