Shreveport has a message for America: Don't look away
Shreveport asks for a focus on domestic violence. But some Americans, according to experts, will look away, partly to protect their own mental health.

I’m never going to forget when “Watchmen” had that scene depicting the Tulsa Race Massacre and so many Black people online lamented that they were never taught that history. It was by design. Oklahoma didn’t make it a part of school curriculum till 2020. Whew that was heavy.
