Welcome to Litsy!

As an LA native, a white girl from the 1970s suburbs, I was astonished by the Rodney King verdict. How did you find 12 people that blind and biased to put on one jury? Then I read this book and got it. There were way more than 12. I‘d just been blind, maybe no less than some of them. We have a long way to go, and books like this help us along the way.

Last pic of the night: these are the parents of those adorable 3 kiddos that I get to be the auntie to- my much older (by a week!) step-brother and sister-in-law, Chad and Jessica. Getting to see family that I hardly ever get to see was the bright spot in this weekend. Now, off to bed. The last leg of my journey starts in the morning.
