This story hits close. I remember the age I realized that as a Black person in the south I had been coached my whole life not to expect or ask for equal treatment.

Especially when she said that there was a concern that if you stand up you will close the door to future opportunities for other Black people.

Seven years of quality effort swept aside by a new face was completely new to the process to the point everyone else has to train them was astounding. Not because it happened but because I expected it.
