This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic.

![[Wall text in Portuguese, translation as follows]
It should be said here that the anti-racist struggle is everyone's. It is from the Latin Artists Institute, the curators, the artists, the entire team that holds this exhibition, it is from each person who lives in Pindorama, this territory that today is called Brazil.
The responsibility for change lies with people, but also with institutions, organizations and governments. There is no exemption. A country that carries the legacy of exploitation and expropriation of territories, nations, communities, cultures, religions and ways of life of black people from various countries on the African continent has the obligation to act to eliminate racism from its society. Everyone must be agents of transformation.
Around us, no situation of racism should be silenced. It is our duty to raise our voices and claim awareness and change of attitude, especially whiteness, so that no excuse is accepted. And for the silence of those who witness racism that this reality finds means of maintenance. We are responsible for the continuity - or elimination - of the racism and privileges that only a part of the nation's population lives today.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7pr3jtfmdg3zwry5vprima5s/bafkreibif64mkjgibacf3xfvigvkolkt2rj67qje5dc4x752anp5vvvzpu)
