George Floyd’s murder has everything to do with white supremacy, the disparate criminalization of substance abuse disorders and America’s inability to see Black people's humanity. He didn’t give his life to become a martyr. His life was violently stolen.
One year ago today, George Floyd was murdered. His death catapulted America into necessary accountability. We’ve made progress. But there is still so much work left to be done. Keep talking, keep sharing, keep listening, keep loving. Never get tired of doing good.
