Resilience is exemplified by life in the desert. The flora and fauna of the region we currently refer to, as Southern Nevada is some of the most resilient on this earth, scratching an existence a hairline from desolation. This, of course, is true of the human residents of this desert environment, but perhaps thriving in the harshest of conditions is the most familiar to the people belonging to the African diaspora. Blackness within the United States as is no simple thing.
