When someone can’t recognize the humanity of every person, it illuminates so much. Peace and justice aren’t complex or contentious – what is, at times, is our ability to consider the lived experiences of those we may be less familiar with, or those who’ve been consistently marginalized and therefore unable to garner broader media or social attention.
