I asked several @CNN political observers what they anticipate at this week's debate. They reviewed Trump and Biden's debate encounters from four years ago before writing their essays — and their insights were not just fascinating, but unexpected. https://t.co/7bVglUTeuZ

It was such a joy to edit this piece by poet and novelist @PinedeNadine. #Juneteenth, Zora Neale Hurston and Haiti turn out to be a captivating — and for me, wholly unexpected — combination. https://t.co/f6yrOxV8EI

So much pathos in this @CNNOpinion piece by @pamelawritesnyc about the ravages of climate change, the failures of the American health care system and her mother, who died far too young. https://t.co/EOW218qKCk

"When each of his eight daughters married, instead of taking a dowry, my grandfather took just a single, symbolic dollar" to show that "he did not consider himself to be selling off his daughter," writes @UzoAduba in her powerful essay for @CNNOpinion. https://t.co/KqNYG9DNcP

"Haitian presidents, prime ministers and parliamentarians have engaged in a dangerous dance with the country’s gangs, often using them as their personal enforcers," writes @Pierre2Garry, publisher of @HaitianTimes_ in his piece for @CNNOpinion. https://t.co/PJMwL9eMSn

Disability as a punch line? It depends on who’s telling the joke, s.e. smith writes for @cnnopinion. https://t.co/AxHoKt4oTY

The destruction of Jackie Robinson's statue shows that that "many Americans must still work to understand and pass down the complexities of America’s sordid racial history," writes @mdent05 for @CNNOpinion. https://t.co/mMw5tpEV8C

"In this time-proven love, even as we flourish independently we keep twining ourselves more closely around each other," writes @joan_lester, in her prose poem for @CNNOpinion on how love deepens over the years. https://t.co/vS2QkeRSF9

"Take race and racism out of the American story and very little about the country is comprehensible," writes Harvard professor @KhalilGMuhammad for @CNNOpinion. https://t.co/et7HtoIWLH

'Origin,' as @keithlmagee brilliantly writes for @CNNOpinion, is the perfect rebuttal to all those who maintain that racism is no longer a problem in America. https://t.co/YZ2rvPPyDV

"Counterfeit narratives cannot be indulged or ignored — not in our society, not in the history we teach in schools," writes @finneyk in her piece on "Lost Cause" mythology for @CNNOpinion. https://t.co/qHFqFYpNC9

This holiday season, there will be hours of TV consumed at @marginallyokay1's home. But she won't be guilt-tripping about it. Read why, in her lovely essay for @CNNOpinion. https://t.co/5ABtbCqneg

On Trump's overtures to African American voters: "The former president seems to be cynically banking on Black Americans having short memories," writes @claycane in his latest for @CNNOpinion. https://t.co/3wCI5EK214
