July 2025 Postcard from Rachielle Sheffler:
Rachielle's Poignant Postcard Message, Beautifully Illustrated by Her Drawing:
I've never been to New York, but I've heard that huddled masses were welcomed there. White huddled masses. On the other shore, the other colors went into detention, processing, and sometimes spat back to where they came from.
West Coast, East Coast, both parts of the same organism, like a heart and its chambers. One filled with oxygen, and the other with the dregs and waste products.
Carlos Bulosan called the country "kind and cruel."
The Angel of Liberty
