When an advance copy of Ibram X. Kendi's new book, "How to Raise an Antiracist," arrived in my mailbox, the massacre in Buffalo hadn't yet happened.
Nor had the shooting in Laguna Woods, where another gun-toting man is accused of killing out of hatred.
So much sorrow in a single weekend. Few of us were shocked, but for me, the mother of two mixed-race girls, the Buffalo shooting and Kendi's book collided in a painful and deeply personal way I didn't expect.
