For me to go to Heaven,

“In order for me to go to heaven, I may have to forgive him. But I will never ever forget, as long as I stay Black. And I don’t see any chance of me turning White.” -  Evelyn Turner while being interviewed by CBS Evening News. The 80 year-old woman is opposing the candidacy of Senator Jeff Sessions as Trump’s attorney general. Turner’s grouse was that 33 years ago, the terribly racist Sessions practically brought financial ruins upon her family. And this was because she and her husband (as Civil Rights activists) were helping to get people registered to vote.
