Great to start the week with a Michael Lange essay. As someone who grew up in the western Rockaway peninsula, the reference to the gated community of Breezy Point brought back memories of high school when my friends, the Jewish and Black members of concert band, would drive up to the gates of Breezy Point, knowing that we were not welcome there.
