A city on fire

Civil unrest in Minneapolis reaches fever pitch the Friday after George Floyd was murdered.

The city I love is on fire for one reason: We never cared enough to stop hurting people because of their DNA. My safety has been threatened to which I say: Good. It’s the only way change will be made. My house could be replaced; George Floyd, et al cannot be.

George Floyd’s murder will burn in my heart and mind and fuel the change that will ripple out from me and I hope, be seen by everyone in my sphere of influence. I will start with a good hard look in the mirror to begin listening to the white noise of racism I’m sure I will find.
