Capital B, Please

Why I Capitalize the B in Black

Photo Credit

As I’ve been writing more about race I realized that I capitalize the B in Black.

I want to explore and explain why I press for and push the big letter.

To be clear, I know it’s incorrect to capitalize the B in reference to race.

But, I do it anyway.
