St. Patrick’s Day 2024
My annual St. Patrick’s day statement seems more appropriate this year than ever.
I speak for no others,
only for myself.
For me, this day has
nothing to do with
green beer or
green rivers or
green clothing or
green anything,
this day has nothing to do with
pinching me or kissing me;
my bad jokes aside,
this day has nothing to do even with Jameson.
Today is a day
to remember oppression
to honor resistance
to recognize that, despite the efforts of
systems of race and racialization
to separate us,
struggles for dignity and justice,
freedom and equality,
human rights and humanity
are inseparably linked:
none of us are free until all of us are free.
for that reason, in that spirit, and in my own fashion,
I mark this day, and each 17th of March.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day.
Fitzgerald on my mother’s side
