No Justice No Peace
From George Floyd to Emmett Till to the many names before them we’ll never know, our countries systemic racism has stolen hopes, dreams, aspirations and lives of African Americans. Today it seems like we’ve reached a paradigm shift and it’s because of the engagement, awareness and determination of all races. We can’t be complacent the way we become accustomed to in society, accepting it as normal. Hopefully, this is a turning point and we will begin to make drastic changes so that generations to follow will have a brighter future.
