At the time, the family lived in Chattanooga, Tenn., where her husband, Exavious, was a public-school teacher. The stories he brought home set her on edge. “It was very clear how the general society viewed Black children, and my daughter was bright,” she said. “I thought, ‘I’m not ready.

The pandemic has taken away the more social aspects of their approach to education. Swim lessons are on hold, as are the science classes at a local museum. Now library story time is on Zoom. But the family prioritizes socially distanced meet-ups with friends. “All of us are longing to be with each other,” Farley said. “So when we say we’re going to get together, we get together.” Exavious left teaching in 2014 and now works in marketing. While his job has been steady, the economic downturn has made the couple reflect on their financial security. They’re re-evaluating their life insurance policy, tweaking their wills and looking into setting up a trust. “To see the rug get pulled up from under so many people and to remember the experiences of our parents and our ancestors, we just want to be as proactive as possible,” Krishon said. “How can we safeguard ourselves?” To find joy, Farley said she’s had to “turn off and tune in.” She signed off Instagram months ago, when election news became overwhelming. In January, she started seeing a Black woman therapist biweekly, and she’s grateful for the connection with her husband. “I will always be eternally thankful that I have a partner who sees me,” she said. “We understand the complexities of this life here, raising a Black family in this America.” Whitney Martin with her ten month old daughter, Britain Martin, London Sweeney, 15, center, and Rodrick Martin Sr., the other ten month old Rodrick Martin Jr.Michael Blackshire for The New York Times THE SWEENEY-MARTIN FAMILY ‘What kind of world did we bring them into?’ When news broke in September that no police officer would be indicted in the death of Breonna Taylor, Whitney Sweeney-Martin felt the community fallout acutely.

She opted not to return for high school. “She voiced that she did not want to be in that environment of privilege,” Sweeney-Martin said. “I did not want to risk my daughter losing herself or her ideals or her opinions.” She is now attending a more diverse Louisville public school and learning remotely. Sweeney-Martin’s husband, Rodrick Martin Sr., co-owns the local restaurant Daddy Rich’s and had plans to expand before the pandemic. The business shut down for a month, then reopened with a walk-up window. In January, the couple welcomed twins Rodrick Jr. and Britain. Sweeney-Martin was home on maternity leave when the pandemic shutdowns began. “We have these two new babies who we prayed for and wanted, and now they’re here,” she said. “What kind of world did we bring them into?” [Read the [full article](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhyasLP0TgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8xMi8yMi9wYXJlbnRpbmcvYmxhY2stcGFyZW50cy1wYW5kZW1pYy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM3JmVtYz1lZGl0X3JyXzIwMjAxMjI2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTI1Mzg4Jm5sPXJhY2UlMkZyZWxhdGVkJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD00Nzg0MCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKX9oLJudfZKyNFFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).] [Continue reading the main story](#a11y-skip-2) ADVERTISEMENT ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhyasLP0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9NzI4Njk5JmxpPVJSJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1SUl8yMDIwMTIyNlcDbnl0Qgpf2gsm519krI0UUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhyasLP0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9NzI4NzAwJmxpPVJSJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1SUl8yMDIwMTIyNlcDbnl0Qgpf2gsm519krI0UUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhyasLP0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9NzI4NzAyJmxpPVJSJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1SUl8yMDIwMTIyNlcDbnl0Qgpf2gsm519krI0UUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ The Lives They Lived Our colleagues at The New York Times Magazine [commemorated some of the most influential people](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhyasLP0TkaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMC8xMi8yMy9tYWdhemluZS9wZW9wbGUtd2hvLWRpZWQuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zNyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ycl8yMDIwMTIyNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0yNTM4OCZubD1yYWNlJTJGcmVsYXRlZCZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NDc4NDAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCl_aCybnX2SsjRRSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) we lost this past year.
