Happy weekend, We have all been concerned this past month about the terrible handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lack of leadership in Washington. It is hard to believe that such a scourge—which still poses risk and that has devastated lives and livelihoods—has been moved off the front page, if only temporarily. But everything changed with the murder of George Floyd. There is hope that addressing police brutality, mass incarceration and the racial injustices in our nation may finally move to the front burner. That these inhumane things continue to exist over 150 years after the Civil War makes me ashamed of this lack of progress.
