Wow. Lauren. I have an ache in my throat and my chest right now after reading this. I lived in Salem for a time, and often thought of the people who were so cruelly eliminated in that place, but reading this made it so real. I've been thinking so much about what happens when we assume that the "other" is evil, or lost, or soiled and soul-less. Fear grips the heart, and violence often follows, as you write about so eloquently here. Oof, I'll be thinking about this for awhile. 💔
