My Thoughts on the Murder of George Floyd

I’m late in writing about the incident in Minnesota and the aftermath, but I felt it best to let some emotions pass before collecting my thoughts. There have, of course, been numerous incidents of black men and women harassed, assaulted, or murdered while engaging in activities that are wholly disproportionate to the response, but this one felt different. This was not a snap decision. This was not Read more of this blog post »
