‘Black Rage’

a few weeks ago, i found this copy of ‘Black Rage’ in a little lending library with the front cover defaced – completely ripped off.
hmm...
i also searched and found this conversation on ‘Black Rage’ from the series 'Treating the Root of Racism’ from the Carl Spain Center.

“beauty emergencies”
"One morning I looked out the bathroom window and couldn’t believe the sky I saw—banded magenta, aqua, purple. I shouted to the kids. ‘hurry, look out back!’
My son, who was downstairs, went straight to the back door to see the sunrise. But my daughter came running into the upstairs bathroom.
‘What’s wrong?’ she asked.
‘Nothing’s wrong—just a beauty emergency. Look at that sky!” Because she is my child, she knows what a beauty emergency is: one of those things you have to look at now, before it’s gone.”
[Maggie Smith, ‘Keep Moving: Notes on Loss, Creativity, and Change’ / 2020]
