On Anger A Point of View

    • Personal Journals

Caleb Azumah Nelson on why anger is no longer a stranger to him, but a friend.
He talks of a childhood in which he tried to navigate a world which was 'already coding a young black man as dangerous, threatening. Angry.'
'As I've grown older,' writes Caleb, 'the question is not whether I should be angry, but do I love myself enough to be angry, to object when I feel wronged or faced with injustice.'
