THANK YOU for these deep insights. What I love are all the many different interpretations people have been sharing since I published this piece here and on the Huffington Post site. Check out all the comments there if you’re interested in sharing your insights with more people discussing all these interpretations. Loving these conversations. I’ve learned so much more about black history in the last week than I ever did in school that’s for sure. ;) Who’d have thought…all this because of a Beyoncé song. ❤
