During a snow squall, the last place you want to be is on the road.
Delay travel if a snow squall warning is issued. If you’re caught on the road when a snow squall occurs, slow down, turn on your low-beams & hazards, and pull over safely to the side of the road

We should ask why it’s so easy for terms and concepts like “Heritage American” and “Western Chauvinism” are met with earnest analysis and exploration while academic theory produced by Black scholars are summarily dismissed by people reading introductory texts if that.
