Rev. Buford presents an African American perspective on the massacre of Jews in Pittsburgh

In the aftermath of the Pittsburg Synongogue shooting, Rev. Daniel A. Buford reminds us that we have to depend on each other and practice empathy.

This makes me think of W.E.B. Dubois who was answering a similar question over hundred years ago. For him, the question boiled down to being asked “What is it like the be THE Problem?” Everybody has problems and we usually have more than one problem. Shakespeare said that “When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.”
