What I hope isn't purely rhetorical is the question of whether the movement that has arisen in the streets since the killing of George Floyd will find its own way to exit that fifty-year-old political framework, or whether it will follow the dead-end path of division and cooptation trod by its predecessors.

Optimism of the will it is.
