The election is behind us. The pandemic continues. Racism remains in the forefront of APsaA and the nation's dialogue. With that in mind, we complete our series of brief essays on the way our lives as clinicians have been affected. The suddenness of infection in our bodies and the uprising that compelled conscious recognition of the long-term damage of systemic racism have segued into the familiar and a long slog of change and commitment. Yet the three essays here printed are as timely as when written in the heat of summer. I offer you the gift of three fine writers: Lisa Roth, Tareq Yaqub and Matthew von Unwerth.
