Avoid Quote by Jonathan Capehart
“Many of their predecessors handled issues of race the way we tiptoe across the thinnest of ice - if they didn't avoid them altogether. Biden and Harris are not afraid to take them head-on - perhaps because the omnipresent subject of race has become so unavoidable.”
