We Need to Move Forward Together — Here Are Some Solutions For How
Will you help be part of the solutions?
An innocent man was murdered in the street. That man was Black. Killed at the hands of a White police officer. Something has to change.
I hope this post sparks a conversation that leads to ACTION to help move us in that direction of positive change. I’m writing this because I’ve seen and heard the cry from Black Americans in sports, politics, business and in my community asking white people to speak out.
We need to listen with empathy — but also to speak out and see if we can help be a part of the solution of eliminating racism — to the greatest extent possible.

When I first saw the video of what happened to George Floyd, all I could think was, How in the world is this happening? Believe me — it was the same feeling I had seeing the murder of Eric Garner. And many others that have lost their lives throughout the history of this country. It was sickening. No surprise. But yet still — shock. HOW???
To say it was appalling wouldn’t be doing it justice. No words can adequately capture the loss of human life due to racism. It’s disgusting.
