I understand that the protest is especially important for black people to the point of actually sacrificing their own lives, unlike those white liberals who can choose what is important to care for on any given day. I am raising a concern only because this is no longer just clearing up white people’s mess. The U.S. being the most hazardous place to be i

<p>The following is a summary of William Newman’s book on the history of alchemy, Promethean Ambitions.
