I need to do better
I trust that by now, most of you have seen the videos of Ahmaud Arbery’s and George Floyd’s final moments of life. Here are a few others:
Sandra Bland’s Arrest: Video
Philando Castile’s Shooting: Video
Eric Garner’s Chokehold: Video
Tamir Rice’s Shooting: Video
Rodney King’s Beating: Video
I don’t have eloquent words on this subject. Frankly, I find it so immense that it’s hard to figure out what to say or how to start helping. But we need to do better. This story is not new; I’ve seen these videos before. I felt outrage, grief and pain and yet I did nothing about it. I need to do better.
If you’d like to help, here are some resources that were useful to me: anti-racism resources & Black Lives Matter.
