Events around our nation have reminded us yet again of the work that remains for all of us in creating a country where racism and bigotry are eliminated and where African American men and women, boys and girls, can live without fear. We are angered and saddened by the death o George Floyd, the victims who came before him, and those killed or otherwise harmed in the wake of Mr. Floyd’s death.
