Terrorism and being targeted because of who you are was not new for everyone. People of color knew about it, but there will be no memorials to the millions of indigenous persons who lost their lives because of it; no memorials for the millions enslaved and subjected to racial terror for two-and-a-half centuries in this land. No indeed, in cases such as that, the very persons who insist most loudly that we must “never forget” 9/11 — and who will no doubt be saying that two hundred years hence — are the very same who insist the suffering of others is to be forgotten precisely because it occurred in the past and that, at some point, the victims need to “get over it.”
