The night of May 25, 2020 changed America. George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, was killed during an arrest in Minneapolis when a White cop suffocated him. The video of that night’s events went viral, sparking the largest protests in the nation’s history and the sort of social unrest we have not seen since the '60s. While Floyd’s death was certainly the catalyst (heightened by the fact that it occurred during a pandemic whose victims were disproportionately of color), it was in truth the fuse that lit an ever-filling powder keg.

Stirring reminder of the countless Black lives lost to the caste system which works to keep Black folk on the bottom. The toll that Blacks keep in their bones as they constantly work to rise above, while often having to educate, placate and navigate the dominant group. Indeed, it was a long time coming in getting us to 2020 and the events of this year, but yet there are glimmers of hope!
