On May 25, George Floyd, a Black man, died in Minneapolis after being handcuffed and pinned to the ground by the knee of a White law enforcement official.

George Floyd’s death reflects deeply ingrained, longstanding divisions in our society.

Sadly, George Floyd is one of many who have recently died because of injustice.

The patterns of police and criminal justice abuse towards Black men in the U.S. are statistically irrefutable.

Statistics speak to the head, but seeing it played out on video hits emotionally, and I can only imagine the emotional impact on our Black community.
