Your blog piece boldly and distinctly points out how when we deny societal devastation and racism we pay for it as a nation by chipping away at the souls of our humanity. Thank you so much for your contributions to CORE Dialogues, MIP, and the analytic community as a whole! It’s an honor to call you colleague and friend.

I particularly loved the quote from Toni Morrison, which seems to echo closely with analytic ideas like “the unthought known” and forms of disavowal. I hope we can transform our witnessing into necessary structural changes to prevent further “rememorization” and harm. Thank you for this blog post, Lorraine!.

Congratulations. You were able to encapsulate the pain of the moment we are living but, at the same time, the hope, work, and the possibility to face our own racial bias that CORE is offering.

Thank you!
Roberto

My mind (and body) echoed very much with the painful realities you remind us of in your heartfelt
essay. We must all continue to remind one another, on a daily basis, of the multitude of historical, as well as present-day, traumas suffered by people of color and their communities.
