Dr. Dooley, thank you for being open and sharing your experiences. Fully recognizing my privilege, I try to make a conscious decision to notice and call out racism but I admit I've never thought about the anxiety people of color may experience specifically when visiting their bank. What happened to you was wrong and unjust.
