Disclaimer and Trigger Warning This article makes reference to race-motivated terrorism and was written from February 18 through May 12, 2022, just two days prior to the white supremacist mass shooting in Buffalo, New York on May 14, 2022. Although the alleged perpetrator of the attack in Buffalo wrote “Here’s your reparations,” on the butt of his rifle, we decided that this work is too important to be silenced by violence or threat of the same. Thus, we decided to publish this article in hopes that our nation’s commitment to the Constitution’s 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments will be as strong as some of our fellow Americans’ commitment to the 2nd.
